Hi all, not sure if this will be allowed by admin as it’s not strictly visa related. I entered Thailand on 11 Jan on a non O Visa - thanks largely to this group for great advice and guidance.

Purpose of visa was to open a bank account ( again thanks for advice in this group) to finalise my brother’s financial affairs- my brother lived in Chiang Mai and was killed in a motorcycle incident. I closed my brother’s account and transferred funds across, there is also compensation payout to come. My question is has anyone transferred a large sum of money internationally and what cost am I likely to pay ?

I live in Australia for context Any advice much appreciated thanks 🙏

Regarding the wise transfers to bkk bank now coded as something other than the previous FTT code. I downloaded the wise invoice pdf which clearly shows it was as n international transfer. However i think is best to start doing wise as a swift transfer to avoid any confusion. Comments?

My Wise transfer deposits (using Funds for Long Term Stay method) from Canada to Kasikorn Bank show this in my bank statement......

"Trade Finance Deposit

Trade Finance

Trade Ref no. IR25083000037050"

Does this indicate International deposit ??

This isn't a visa question but what are the different ways to fund a K-bank account? I know cash deposits work, but what other options are available?

Well my day became crap. Trying to transfers the fund online. They send you a code.problem being its being sent to your British mobile because your in thailand they don't change the code. So feeling a little stressed

What’s the best way to regularly transfer Thai Baht to my UK bank account ? Wise will not work.

Hi all, sorry this has probably been talked about a hundred times but I am still struggling trying to get my head around this depositing money into a Thai bank account, so you are one of the lucky ones that gets a bank account within the first few days of arrival, you have to deposit 800000 baht and have it in your account for 2 months before you apply for your year extension, can you bring that amount into the country, plus spending money, or would it be best to use something like wise and transfer the money but what happens if it takes to long to get all the money transferred over so you have all the money in for the 2 mouth dead line remembering you only have a mouth to sort it, sorry again if this angers some people asking this but it is a concern to me and probably a lot of people in the same situation, and please no comments about how easy it was for you when it was years ago and everything was easier, lol

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?

Hello guys, i have Bangkok bank account for a while, but never used it before. Now i went to fix my online banking, and visited two separate branches to do so. Both of them told me different prices as a comission for money sending. First branch told me 100 baht the second one told me 1150 baht. Can you tell me how much of a fees you pay sending money with revolut and is there any specific way to avoid the SWIFT transfer?!?!

Further to my post 3 days ago referring to the maximum GBP, I could transfer from the UK to Kasikorn Thailand.

I e mailed Kasikorn, and they replied stating that they do not normally have a maximum.

Adding it depends on the sender's bank, maximum for transfers.
