I will be arriving in Thailand October this year on a non O visa. My question is, what is the cheapest way to transfer 800k Baht from my English bank to a Thai bank. I have a Revolut card, but have never used it. Some people say use Wise, others Swift transfer. Your thoughts please gentleman?

Hi everyone! Question for fellow DTV visa holders in Thailand 🇹🇭

How are you handling money and daily payments?

Since we can’t open Thai bank accounts (as far as I know), and ATM withdrawals from foreign cards can get expensive, I’m curious what solutions you’ve found for spending, paying locally, or moving money around.

I'm planning to move from Bali in 2–3 months, so I’m trying to get a clear picture of what’s working well for others.

Would also love to hear about any other challenges you’ve faced with the DTV visa... or smart solutions you’ve figured out since arriving.

Appreciate any feedback. Thanks a lot! 🙏

Hi hope you don't mind me asking question here,I'm coming over in April is revolut any good for cash transfer.ok sorry my pension gos into revolut so I'd be taken money out end of the months .so it's 250 tbh every time use the machine

So the Washington DC embassy doesn't accept Wise. Anybody know if they accept Revolut? Or which embassies accept Wise?

I’m applying for a dtv visa and know I can’t get a Thai bank account so has anyone information on any pre paid cards I can use while out in Thailand. I won’t use the atm so looking for another way?

Has anyone in Jakarta applied for the DTV visa using a Wise or Revolut account? How did it go, and what was your experience like?

Those whose bank accounts were closed, what are your alternatives?

Regarding bank accounts, has anyone used a Revolut to prove funds for application? I do bank with santander but have savings in the Revolut

I just want the application as easy as possible and obviously not to be rejected

DTV via Thai Embassy in UK: Does anyone know if they accept bank statements from Revolut? Thanks.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to ask if having 500k spread across three bank accounts is acceptable when applying for the DTV. My savings are split between THB and EUR on Revolut, and my local currency in a domestic bank account—so overall, three different currencies across two banks. I’ll probably apply in Ho Chi Minh.

I could consolidate everything into THB on Revolut, but it would take a few days and I’d prefer to avoid the fees and exchange rate losses. Any advice?
