Are there specific requirements for the 65,000 transfer into my account each month for the next 12 months? I probably will use Wise from my USA account. Do I remember reading something about how it has to be labeled?

Hi another daft question which im sure I have seen the answer on here already but can't seem to find it. So when depositing money k800 for retirement visa through Wise what should I put the reason down as?

I seem to remember there's a particular way to show it's an international deposit.

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone, I'll be in Thailand on May 1st. I'd know about payment systems besides the classic cash. Is Wise working to pay in any shop and withdraw from any Atm?

Is it better to keep funds in a Thai bank or something like Wise for the DTV application? Specifically looking to apply in Manila or Jakarta

Can you use Revolut or WISE account statment as evidence of the 500k?

Just wanted to share my failed experience of applying for an extension of stay. Tried applying in Chiang Mai today March 25th. Got rejected because Wise is not considered a real bank. Same goes for Revolut. You gotta provide a bank statement from a "real" bank is what I'm told. This + all the original docs you used to apply for the DTV + rental agreement here in Thailand + certificate of bank account ownership + proof that I've been paying rent here in Thailand.

Hope this helps!

EDIT: I successfully left the country and came back 3 days later. Upon reentry the immigration officer asked for proof of accommodation. Nothing else aside from the obvious (passport + printout of evisa).

What is the best way to send large amounts of money to thailand. I have a bank account in thailand already. ?

I've just transferred £1000 from UK to Kasikorn, the UK charged just £5 and i sent in pound sterling, because UK always charge more when they exchange it. However Kasikorn has just creamed 3%, no biggy for £1000, but this was a trial to see speed and charges, it will kill me sending 5 or 10 million baht. So my question is, from experience, do any of you know whether different banks charge different amounts, if so which is best, and finally does the amount % get less the more you send?

Or does it have to be from a brick-and-mortar traditional bank like Bank of China, Bank of America etc?

Dont know if anyone elsehas encountered this problem. I recently tried to send my wife a small amount of money using WISE. After three days I got an email saying my account had been closed due to fraudulant activity, which is absolute nonnsense. I have spent several hours on the phone submitted a claim with them and they still have my money. I cannot seem to talk with anyone with any authority. Anybody else have this experience and any idea on how to get my money back. Disgusted by this.
