I will be arriving in Thailand October this year on a non O visa. My question is, what is the cheapest way to transfer 800k Baht from my English bank to a Thai bank. I have a Revolut card, but have never used it. Some people say use Wise, others Swift transfer. Your thoughts please gentleman?

What do you find to be the cheapest, easiest, and fastest service to use when transfering smaller amounts money to Thailand?

Hi everyone! Question for fellow DTV visa holders in Thailand 🇹🇭

How are you handling money and daily payments?

Since we can’t open Thai bank accounts (as far as I know), and ATM withdrawals from foreign cards can get expensive, I’m curious what solutions you’ve found for spending, paying locally, or moving money around.

I'm planning to move from Bali in 2–3 months, so I’m trying to get a clear picture of what’s working well for others.

Would also love to hear about any other challenges you’ve faced with the DTV visa... or smart solutions you’ve figured out since arriving.

Appreciate any feedback. Thanks a lot! 🙏

Hi everyone, what is the best way of transferring the equivalent of 800,000 bahts from my uk bank account for the none O retirement visa.

Question for DTV holders currently (or were recently) in Thailand: Now that access to a Thai bank account has been cutoff, how are/did you pay(ing) your rent?

So the Washington DC embassy doesn't accept Wise. Anybody know if they accept Revolut? Or which embassies accept Wise?

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.

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.

Has anyone in Jakarta applied for the DTV visa using a Wise or Revolut account? How did it go, and what was your experience like?

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
