Today i went to the kasikorn branch on pattaya klang which does have an international services window. I brought my wise pdf receipt, passport, bank book. They have already dealt with this matter recently for other customers . so i signed a form called "application for issuance global inward certificate" and was issued the item below which they assured me would pass muster with immigration. Very helpful staff said i could return in 6 months when renewal is due and get the same certificate with all transactions for the same cost, 200 baht. Just be sure to bring the above items again. I trust them but on monday will go back to immigration and verify that this certificate is acceptable.

TLDR : Answer Summary
An expatriate shares their experience obtaining a global inward certificate from Kasikorn Bank in Pattaya, which is needed for immigration purposes. They detailed the process, mentioning the required documents and cost (200 baht), and highlighted the bank's helpfulness. Other comments provided additional insights about banking experiences in Thailand, the usefulness of international services, and some variations in fees and procedures at different banks.

Was it the Int'l desk upstairs that issued it or downstairs staff?

Use bank transfer from bank in your country into Thai bank - then it appears clearly that money came from abroad. And with big amounts Wise is more expensive.

that is interesting. Never transferred big amounts, how do wise work out more expensive, exchange rate cheaper, do they eat up in fees?

fees are % of the transaction the % decreasing with higher amounts. SWIFT transfers are a fixed fee hence some people believe they are cheaper for higher amounts yet they do not check the exchange rate whereby Wise will always win top spot.

any foreigners who buy property in Thailand, they are required to submit this document when they do officially house transfer. My husband bought a villa and he transferred money to me so i needed to do this document.
