Can anyone help with this one. We are applying for an extension of stay based on retirement. I have everything for the process and starting to transfer funds from the uk to Thai banks. We have accounts with Bangkok bank and Kasikorn bank. I have transfered my 800000 bt to the bank bank and is says it comes from overseas and all well and good. My wife is tranfering funds and her Kasikorn bank statement says it is transfered from Bankok bank by automatic payment, there is nothing thats says it comes from overseas! anyone had this problem with Kasikorn
TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry concerns applying for a retirement extension in Thailand and a specific issue with fund transfers between Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn Bank. The poster successfully transferred the required 800,000 THB to Bangkok Bank, but their wife's transfer via Kasikorn Bank appears as a domestic transfer. Comments suggest the need for proper categorization when using services like Wise and highlight that extensions do not require proof of overseas fund origin. Additionally, advice indicates obtaining a bank statement confirming the international transfer will resolve the issue.
