Just opened a bank acc with KBank . I need to deposit the required amount from my revolut account to start the marriage visa ! Do I send money to my Thai bank account in Thai baht or Pounds sterling ?

Hi everybody; I have applied in usa for a 90 day non-o retirement Visa. My first question is regarding timing. If I register my address upon arrival (TM-30) and then open up Thai bank account and deposit ฿800,000 I have to let the funds “season” for 60 days.  then I’m told i can apply for a one year extension. But I read somewhere that you’re supposed to apply 30-

45 days before your 90 day visa expires. Is this true? And if so, what do I do about it? The math doesn’t work.

Second question is regarding transferring funds. If I use Wise, will it show up as a foreign transfer? Is this important? 

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time and trouble to respond.



Here is the so called credit advice letter from Bangkok bank regarding this months wise transfer. It does not specify foreign transfer.

When planning to open a bank account with 800,000 baht, does it need to be all cash or can we do a wire transfer from another bank outside of Thailand?

Do money transfers from a US Bank using WISE show as a foreign transfer into a Thai bank account?
