Hi Folks,

Ok this falls under "everything else". I'm still trying to get everything setup after I recently "moved to" Thailand. The logistics are still being worked out, but I now have an apartment that I'm just moving into but I'm leaving the country for a few weeks.

My first (or technically second) month's rent will be due when I'm out of the country, but I don't think I'll have my bank account setup in time. Last summer, Wise did whatever magic it needed to do to determine that I'm real and apparently not a money launderer or whatever they do to approve someone to use their services. However, I've never gotten past that point.

Here's my question...please be kind because this Wise system feels like a black box to me. Can I transfer money into Wise, have it converted to baht then transfered directly into my landlord's bank account from there, even if the landlord knows nothing about Wise? I'm hoping this is a solution to my challenge.

Thanks so much.

I am here in Thailand on a non O visa visiting my baby son 90 days single entry, but I plan to extend. We take a new condo on 1st of December.

My question is can have my name on the contract as well as my fiancé? Landlady just what to use my fiancé name. We are renting not buying.

I am the one paying for condo.
