ORIGINAL POSTER

Just a quick question guys. My pension company has agreed to pay my pension, which is the required monthly income to stay. They are going to pay me via western union from UK to Thai bank, Can anyone tell me if this will show the required foreign transfer required by Visa extension? Many thanks Aidan

You have to ask your UK and your Thai bank. Money transfers into Thailand are not that visa related, but you might get any ideas about money transfers on this page.
