TLDR : Answer Summary
When making a deposit of K800 for a retirement visa in Thailand using Wise, it's important to specify the reason clearly. Users have noted that it's best to indicate it as a 'long-term stay in Thailand' or choose the appropriate option from the Wise dropdown menu. Additionally, if the funds are transferred from a local Thai bank, it may not appear as an international transfer. It's recommended to confirm this with Wise directly.

I use wise also, but the money for me normally gets transferred from their kasikorn bank here in Thailand, so it doesn't show as an international transfer,

Best to message wise to confirm it can be shown as an international transfer.
