I need to send a large sum for a Thai friend to buy a house. I don’t want comments on this, I know 100% what I am doing.

What would be the safest way to do it?

Swift transfer to friend’s Bangkok bank is possible? Will the EU bank allow this?

Wise/revolut I am afraid they would freeze the money and start asking all sort of questions and would be a nightmare to stay in touch with them.

Should I come to Thailand, open a bank account and then transfer there and then to my friend?

If so on what visa could I do this? I leave elite visa as my last option(expensive and I don’t really need to be that much in Thai for the next 5 years)

Hi Banking question for you knowledgeable folks

I have an account with Krungsri Bank which unfortunately limits transfers via Wise to 50k baht per transaction I’m in the US now so considering transferring a larger amount via IBAN (bank to bank) Am I still restricted on the amount and will I benefit in regards to fees? Thanks

How do you transfer the large amount of money for your retirement visa

I'm ready to transfer 800,000 to my account with Bangkok Bank. I have to use Revolut and transfer using SWIFT international banking. Do I need to show a narrative linking the transactions?. My Thai account is in married name and Euro account is in birth name. Identy is not a problem as both names are in my passport. Is thete a way of adding a narrative to appear in both accounts?

is in different name

Options and suggestions for moving baht from Bangkok Bank to a US bank (Schwab)?

BB says it will cost 1150 b to do a swift transfer, with exchange to USD. Not too much, rate seems standard, no charge from Schwab.

DeeMoney doesn't seem as good, but the rates may not be up-to-date.

Thanks
