Will obtaining Bangkok Bank Credit Advice resolve the issue of an incorrectly labeled Wise transfer for my Non-O retirement extension?

Question

UPDATE:  Bangkok Bank provided a Credit Advice that showed the September transaction as a internal transfer and not a foreign transfer  the bank manager said because that was a widespread problem in September only, they have made it acceptable with immigration, as long as the credit advice shows it was a transfer from Kasikorn to Bangkok Bank and all other transactions were normal “foreign transfers” .  I then went to immigration and was given my 12 month extension with no questions asked….😎

Wise sent one of my 12 transfers labeled incorrectly (says DEP TRF FR E-CH instead of FOREIGN T/T). Will obtaining  Babgkok Bank Credit Advice solve the problem so I can renew my non-o retirement extension?  Thx in advance

The issue at hand involves obtaining a Bangkok Bank Credit Advice to resolve problems with incorrectly categorized funds that are crucial for renewing a non-O retirement visa. Users have experienced challenges with transfers labeled as internal rather than foreign, but there is potential for resolution through proper banking documentation. Advice suggests that obtaining a credit advice may help, but it's essential to engage with both Bangkok Bank and the partner bank (Kasikorn) to ensure all required documentation aligns with immigration regulations.

The BBL credit advice will also show the same source of funds as in your account. You will have to request an FET form from the Wise partner bank that received the International transfer. Will have to be a branch of that bank that deals with International transfers.

If you can get the credit advice, then it should be fine.  Assuming your bank is Bangkok Bank, they might refuse as they did not receive the funds as an international transfer.  They will tell you to go to the bank they received it from (likely Kasikorn) to get the credit advice from them.

Wise (it is not a bank) sends money through their Thai partner bank, Kasikorn bank (since September 1. 2025).

From Kasikorn Bank to the endpoint bank (be it Bangkok Bank) it arrives into your account as an internal Internet transfer.

That is where life becomes complicated. I saw people here chasing Kasikorn to give them the original transfer. Someone said 200 THB or that.

I was refused at immigration for similar thing i had two deposits that showed from other bank not international even though i could prove they were the answer was no.

Martin ********** · Answer

That is a problem. I noticed it, first time in September, and had my money send again by regular bank transfer. Ask help at your immigration, or go to K bank, where the money comes from to get proof of international transfer.
