Why might extensions to Non O visas be refused when using TransferWise?

Non-O Visa Visa Extensions TransferWise Thai Visa Issues Bank Transfers in Thailand

Sep 10, 2019

ORIGINAL POSTER

Dear Robert . There have been instances where extensions to Non O visa’s have been refused because TransferWise sometimes uses partner banks inside Thailand so it has not been possible to show that funds have been transferred from overseas. 

I beg to request that this is very much a Thai Visa issue. I hope you understand and will acknowledge this particular exception concerning TransferWise.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Extensions to Non-O visas may be refused if funds are transferred through TransferWise, as it sometimes uses partner banks in Thailand. This situation complicates proving that funds came from overseas, presenting a unique challenge for visa applicants.
