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.

Hi, just wondering if the banks have changed the amount you can transfer from abroad, I was using wise and this message popped up. I never read about a change. I thought the max was 50k apart from the big 3 banks.

Hello there, asking for advice regarding money transfers to the EU (Austria). I have been sending money to my daughter (just small amounts, less than EUR 800 every other month) via Western Union without any problems. Last Thursday they suddenly declined and asked me to fill in a document requiring the birth certificate of my daughter, my pension certificate and what not. I find that a bit too much, especially given the fact that they accept payments into Thailand without much ado. Anybody knows a way around or a better option to send money to the EU? My bank, Krungsri, is asking horrendous fees.

When transferring money into Thailand, when you go to show the transfers for income verification... So things like WISE register differently than wires?

Hi, I am just opening my Thai bank account and wondered if anyone had advice on cheapest way of transferring large sums into the account. I can use Swift from my uk bank and have Wise and Revolut but open to any suggestions to minimise charges. Many thanks for any reply

Good morning Wise has removed option long term stay when transfering money to Thailand. Sent emails but get useless reply for support.

Any idea what option to choose now.

Advice needed about money from UK to Thailand. My daughter has recently moved to Thailand and is getting her Ed visa sorted. I'll be visiting her and sending her money, we both have wise cards (as yet unused). It suggests you can 'spend like a local' but I can't see how that works when she says they don't have contactless anywhere, also she doesn't know how to transfer her rent using Wise. She's always paid in cash and has to withdraw cash weekly. Is this how it is locally??

She's been taking money out of her uk bank at ATMs and being charged fees both ends. She tried to get cash using her passport in a bank to avoid atm fees but they refused.

I guess what I'm asking is what's the best way to use the wise card, she has a physical one and digital one, with different numbers (not sure why she has two?). It may be that I'm a dinosaur, but advice would be much appreciated.

Hello….

Not visa related but an inquiry involving money transfers.

I am currently living in the Philippines and hold some Philippine Peso.

I was wondering if it would be better to exchange here for US Dollars and bring them with me instead of peso….not sure as means exchanging twice !!
