ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion clarifies that selecting 'Savings' as the reason for a Wise transfer is acceptable for Thai immigration when applying for a first 12-month visa. However, for extensions based on the 800k baht method, showing that funds come from overseas is not necessary. There are options for specifying 'long-term stay' as the reason, particularly relevant for Non-O visas, especially those based on marriage.
