I’m currently on a non-immigrant O visa in Thailand and I want to do a one year extension. I transferred the 400000 bart on the 8th of October with transfer wise as long term funds to stay. It doesn’t show as an international transfer same as many others. Does it have to show an international transfer for what I plan to do?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is currently in Thailand on a Non-Immigrant O visa and is seeking to extend it for one year. They mentioned transferring 400,000 Baht as long-term funds using TransferWise, but there are concerns about whether the transfer needs to be classified as an international transfer for the visa extension process.

Go to the transaction, click on details and it will confirm that it's an international transfer...

Local deposit is fine for visa based on Thai spouse. The officers are not to fussy, they understand the Thai connection.

Are you with Bangkok Bank? What code is showing up on your pass book for the transfer ?

yes I can confirm what Ben said. No need to be international transfer. Mine wasn't either. I have a spouse extension too.

The 400K THB does not need to be flagged as an international transfer to my knowledge, for a one year extension of stay based on marriage.

What's the reason for the Non-O visa (remember, "O" means "Other")
