When using means testing for renewal does the 65k have to be a single deposit per month or can it be cumulative? Pension, investment, social security all have different dispersal dates. Do I wait and do it all at once or can I set up automatic payments from each source.

What is the cheapest and safest way to transfer large sums of money from EU to Thai bank to meet the pension or investor visa requirements?

Ok- I have a question for all my Wise Banking American ex-Pats:

When I'm moving money from my Wells Fargo to wise and then Wise to a Thai bank account should I exchange the funds to Baht and then deposit them s Baht to the Thai bank account?

Does that make sense? Or just do a USD dorectly into my Thai bank account?

Which one will give me better rate?

I read somewhere that your 65,000 Baht monthly income has to come from a ‘Govt Pension’ source?…Is it okay if it comes from a SIPP (a private pension pot)?…

Hi guys, I plan on retiring to Thailand next year, I'm married to a Thai and was planning on going down the income route rather than dumping a lump sum in my Thai bank account. The British embassy no longer confirms income so do they accept a statement from a UK bank ?

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

Is anybody from Canada using wise to transfer money from Canada to Thailand Tia

For digital nomads who are transferring money now into Thai Bank Accounts

Lets say you are transferring 60k on low end and 100k on high end every month

After 1 year in thailand how much tax are you liable to pay from that to thai government (so 360k-720k baht transferred in)?

Non O retirement visa requires 800,000 baht in a Thai bank. How difficult (or not) is it getting your money out and back to their home country if they decide to return home? Is it just a matter of a bank transfer? Any penalties?

Potential problem discovered today. Some immigration offices may ask you for proof your bank deposit came from abroad. Many people use online banks like Wise. But Wise send from their Wise London bank to a partner bank in Thailand, and then on to your bank. So your deposit's code in your Thai bank is not from abroad. Immigration can therefore make this an obstacle - that needs overcoming - to get your visa. Note: not all offices or officers ask for this apparently.

UPDATE: According to others, it seems this problem has been solved by Wise giving an option to send "funds for longstay". If, like me however, you sent the funds before this option was available, the problem remains. You will most likely have to resend the funds from abroad. My local office will not accept the Wise (funds sent) statement as proof.
