I am leaving for Thailand on retirement visa initially with non O visa via Siamlegal.

As understood Australian Authorities allowed maximum A$ 10000 in cash carriage to overseas. I have WISE ACCOUNT and TRAVEL MONEY CARD and COMMON BANK ACCOUNT. My question is what is the best way to transfer the money requirement of THB 800000 in Thai Bank account for retirement visa. I am looking foward your valued inputs.

Any idea if this will impact inbound transfers?

Kplus — Can no longer transfer more than 50k thb per “day” anymore, all I ever used the account was for getting money from Europe, twice a month for many years on average with out issue to pay the wife and bills. This is despite me using a correct simcard and already did facial scan at the bank a while back. Probably gonna take a few days to move funds out gonna switch banks. This is utterly ridiculous. Been with them for 4 years with no issues. Luckily, I have four other Thai banks with no such limits. Only been using K plus because they are usually the fastest for international transfers might keep using them. Hopefully inbound won’t be impacted. I don’t think so, but won’t be using them for storing money or paying bills.

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?

Okay I have the next dumb question. My buddy is trying to transfer money from Bank of America to Bank of Thailand. He's doing a wire transfer and he's not using wise so let wise go. When we went to do the transfer it asked did we want to use Thai baht, US dollars or euros. We did an experimental run of a thousand US dollars. We chose Thai baht and it gave us an exchange rate of 31.61. not a great exchange rate. Now the question is should we have picked US dollars and then let Bank of Bangkok convert it. Please let us know what you guys think would be the best choice in this quest to bring money to Thailand.

Good day to everyone

I would like to ask you all about transferring money from overseas into my Thai bank account.

WISE asks for the reason so you click ( long stay in Thailand) something like that.

Western Union hasn’t got this reason. Does it matter or not.

Thank you 🙏 all

I might be a bit naive here but how to move 800k from Canada to a Thai bank? is it wire transfer? can I do this from thailand or do in canada. I do not have a thai bank account now

I was just curious. The best way to transfer the 800,000 baht that is required for visa from your bank in America to a Thai bank when opening a new account. Do they have a domestic router number in Thailand? Thanks

I'd like to build a house. For REASONS I am interested in sending the money from USA to my wife here. How did that work? With large transfers does it get declared or flagged or? Is it taxed? What sort of rates? We know very little about taxes in Thailand- nobody in my wife's network has anyone ever had enough money to need to pay taxes.

Not sure if it's right place to ask before I go to bank but is there an easy way to transfer funds from Australian bank account to my K bank account please?

Can I use 800,000 Baht in cash to open a bank account.

I am thinking that bringing £ over from UK will get me the best exchange rate to Baht

TIA
