Advice please

When transfering 800k into bank for non o visa , do you need to transfer it so a FET form can be issued. Does immigration need to see funds as a foreign transfer Do you need to transfer funds in your home currency then bank convert to THB, or is it best to us WISE for best exchange rate

Can you use WISE and get a FET form

When transferring USD from my local bank to Wise and then to a Thai bank…about how much is WISE going to charge for their transfer fee? 25k usd being transferred to open bank account. I’m seeing $196. 🤷 and send it as USD and receive as Thai baht or receive as USD to Thai bank?

Whereas my Charles Schwab account will only charge me $15 via wire transfer but will take 3-4 days to be in Thai bank. Is there a massive charge on the Thai end? What am I missing? First timer here. Thanks! And no, not using an agent!!!

Has anyone used Instarem as a means of transferring funds into Thailand. It appears that they have a better exchange rate than Wise but would like to hear if anyone has experienced any problems or a good experience with this company

Planning to apply for soft power DTV visa in Hanoi.

My current funds are on Wise. Should I transfer everything to Revolut then apply? It would be the right amount.

Please advise. I can also show both accounts I guess.

Revolut has my daily spending.

Wise has my clients transfers.

Question on Wise - to show as a foreign transfer, what reason do you choose in the drop-down list?

morning all, still on the question of wise for transferring money over , so if I input 800,000 baht it's giving my an exchange rate of 42.7 and have to send £19,758 pounds, and it's saying charges £120, so I've looked at the comparison list and they are more money to pay in to get less out, if that makes sense, I still think it's expensive, what do you guys think, any suggestions, thanks

Question for Bangkok Bank users. I am making monthly deposits of over 65.000 through Wise with the same reason “long term stay “.

Most codes show “foreign T/T” but TWO show “Dep TRF FR E-CH”. Anyone know if this still shows foreign deposit for immigration. 

Thanks

morning all, another question for you, not visa related but more bank account so I think it's visa related anyway, so struggling to decide on 2 things,

first is sending my 800,000 for my non o retirement visa, not keen on having to add details to wise and then send the money to them first , I might just use my Lloyds international account.

second one I was thinking of getting this xpatphone for my UK number and just buy a data SIM , would the bank still take the paperwork from the phone shop as evidence or do they need a Thai phone number as well, so I can download the bank app,

thanks again for all your help though the run up to the move.

Receive deposit back without bank account

Hi all. I've been using Wise for paying rent, deposit and such but Thailand is not supported as an account with acc number to receive money transferred from others.

So as my rental contract is ending, Im curious what are the options to receive back my deposit besides in cash (just in case) when I don't have a TL bank account (couldnt open)? If u have experienced this before please let me know.

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone.

If I transfer money from my uk bank account to my wise account and change the pound sterling to Thai bahts within my wise account, once in Thailand I intend to transfer the 800,000 bahts from my wise account into my new Thai bank account, would that satisfy the rule which says your money should have come from outside Thailand?

Thank you for any advice. 🙏
