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.

Hi Guys

I know that opening up a bank account on the DTV can be difficult, so I am thinking of other options. I basically just want the convenience of being able to use my phone to pay and not having to carry cash around everywhere. Would revolut or wise accounts work for this? Is there anyone that uses their revolut or wise accounts for this and what are the fees?I am trying to decide which account to get. Thanks

I did a Bank Wire Transfer from the USA (Wells Fargo) to my friends Thailand bank account on November 8. It says arrival by November 20, & still has not arrived. I can’t understand why this transaction doesn’t take seconds, or even 1-2 days. Any ideas?

Hi, I am just opening my Thai bank account and wondered if anyone had advice on cheapest way of transferring large sums into the account. I can use Swift from my uk bank and have Wise and Revolut but open to any suggestions to minimise charges. Many thanks for any reply

Want to prepare my bank statements to be accepted with a broad range of Thai embassies/consulates (Argentina, Singapure, and whatever you recommend!) and not lose a bunch of interest. Having 15K sit for 6 months could earn me almost 240 USD.

What do you recommend?

I heard Wise is not accepted by some consulates because they are not a bank and Trade Republic statements are in German.

Please vote and comment: Have any of you used foreign language statements without a costly translation?

Why is western Union cheaper than wise all of a sudden ? Transfer 20000. Bht wise £472 and western Union £457 (no transfer fee) I’m guessing it’s a one off no transfer fee ?

I believe many members in this group use and advocate for Revolut?

This is a pretty good story of how security goes wrong. Certainly the victim could have done more to protect themselves but it sounds like Revolut did next to nothing to protect it's customers.

Most certainly any financial service provider should have some security with new accounts and the number of transactions/payments within a period of time.

They save you money because they reduce expenses... Security is apparently one of those expenses
