I bank with Krungsri. For years I have maintained a 800k balance. I would like to switch to the 65k per month option. I use Wise to transfer monies to my Krungsri account. I always select the 'funds for long term option'. How can I be sure my transfers meet Immigration requirements?

Something going down with bank accounts today. Seen several posts across the visa groups. Not sure if it’s a particular bank specific thing or what. The posts mention about the banks closing accounts of people not on long term visas.

If anyone has information as to what’s going on then please share.

Is anyone here have problems with wise transfers? In the past they've always arrived promptly, in 5-10 mins now one and a half days already? 😄

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?

Looks like WISE dropped the category for "Funds for long term stay in Thailand " or words to that effect. Just did a transfer and didn't have that as a reason. Everyone I have done so far this year had that as a reason. I believe though that isn't really necessary for a renewal on a marriage extension of stay.

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?
