I currently reside in the US and I finally secured health insurance to meet the visa requirements.
I know this sounds like an idiotic question but I’m going to ask anyway. What is the easiest way to wire funds directly to the insurance company’s United Overseas Bank (UOB) account?
I have attempted to use Western Union, Wise, and even looked into international wires on my credit union website with no success.
Wise doesn’t list UOB. Western Union errors out citing the need for a BIC/Swift code. And I didn’t see the option to wire funds internationally for any of my 4 credit unions. Its late so Im sure I am overlooking something.
American bank will charge 35.00 transfer fee to Thai bank and says same day wire with no atm fee. Would using wise be better and if so why. I have looked at the wise site. I appreciate all the help this group has given me so far
Hi all, I'm currently in Bangkok on my first week on a Non O Visa from the UK. I need to transfer the 800,000 Baht, so that I can apply for the 1 year extension. I have setup a bank account at Krungsri Bank in Bangkok Phrom Phong. Can I send the 800K Baht using Wise ? I know that maximum that can be transferred is 500K each time, so I would need to do 2 x transfers.
Will the Immigration office be ok with a transfer from Wise for the 1 year extension ? I could use Barclays Swift payment, but would be much more expensive.
Hey all. So I've just got my 2nd non-o extension and want to start the 65k deposit a month process instead of the 800k.
I spoke to an agent who said I need to get a credit advice from my bank to state the transfers every month are from outside Thailand.
I transfer with wise and she couldn't advise if that's ok or not so just wanted to check if anyone has or is currently doing this through wise and not had a issue with this process and if so. How do you go about resolving it.
I was using Wise to send money from the U.S. to my wife's account in Thailand (TTB). Any suggestions for a replacement since Wise says "this bank no longer accepts cross-border remittances." Does this mean Wise or all electronic transfer systems?
