My wife and I plan to retire in Thailand early next year. I am now sorting out all the details.

What is a good way to actually transfer funds to a bank for meeting the deposit requirements? I assume my current bank would do that, but I think there are pretty steep fees involved. Is that what most people do or is there a better way? I am in the US BTW.

Hello,

i am on a Privilege Visa and do payments with Wise. Now i want to rent a condo. Do i need a local bankaccount or can i pay monthly rent and electricity or water bills with Wise?

If i open a Bangkok Bank account is there a annual fee for the account?

Thx

Looking to open a Thai bank account today. Are there any banks to avoid since I'll be using Wise to transfer money

Hi, question regarding Thai banks. When I send a Wise transfer to a Thai bank account, does the recipient's bank charge them a fee?

Also, if I open a Thai bank account, what sort of fees are charged? Is there such a thing as a no fee account?

TIA

I am looking to start the process for a retirement visa. My bank in America can transfer the money to my Bangkok Bank very cheap. But I have read accounts that some people say this would not be recognized and I need to use Wise to transfer as they have a box that stipulates what the money is for? Have people bee rejected for transferring money directly from their home country bank account to Thai Bank?
