Quick question -

I was asked the followings as extra documents to provide -

* "Document indicating current location: Documents without an English version is recommended to be translated at an official translation office in Vietnam. A financial statement is required, including bank transactions from the last 6 months and an account balance of at least 500,000 BHT."

I did share way more than that as a proof of funds in my Interactive Brokers accounts (financial institution). and I attached a proof of the ownership of such account under my name. I even highlighted the numbers and name... And yes, everything is in English.

Could someone explain me what am I missing? I might have skipped the bank statement for the previous 6 months, but even if I share it, I don't hold such sums on my checking account, it's not gaining any interest there...

Did anyone experience such thing? Would appreciate some wisdom...

Hi, has there been any updates on opening a bank account on the DTV ?

Hey folks, for the workation DTV option, has anyone used funds in a Thai bank before? I currently have the required 500k in a Thai bank, but I couldn't find any information if that's allowed or not

Is anyone here have problems with wise transfers? In the past they've always arrived promptly, in 5-10 mins now one and a half days already? 😄

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.

thanks!

Any update on Wise ? I know of a Thai woman who recently tried to send money from UK to the Kasikorn bank and the payment was refused by the bank.

Sorry guys best way to off load my hard earned cash to my beloved wise or western union

Does anyone know of a bank in Thailand that has a savings account that has a percentage interest rate similar to a CD in an American Bank to allow the money to grow? 3.50-4.50%. This would be for the marriage requirements to have the $400,000 baht in an account. Is it possible to open an account and just leave it and let it grow?

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?

Going to apply for DTV Soft Power in Australia.

I have a joint account with my wife (who is not applying) but with a few times the required 500,000 baht.

Problem I see is they require 3 months of bank statement and if the joint account is rejected then I have to get a new bank account and wait 3 months of bank statements in my name only.

I've emailed the Sydney embassy but no reply.

Anyone have success using a joint in Australia please?
