Hi, not visa related but has anyone used this type of card please 🙏

[members only]

Just wanted to share my failed experience of applying for an extension of stay. Tried applying in Chiang Mai today March 25th. Got rejected because Wise is not considered a real bank. Same goes for Revolut. You gotta provide a bank statement from a "real" bank is what I'm told. This + all the original docs you used to apply for the DTV + rental agreement here in Thailand + certificate of bank account ownership + proof that I've been paying rent here in Thailand.

Hope this helps!

Does anyone prefer Revolut over WISE?

For the DTV visa showing funds of 500k is it just one bank statement you have to send? All my banks are digital so I don't get paper statements, but I can download a statement from the app. Would this be okay?

This is a anything else question.

I have internet banking with SCB on my phone.

Now I got a new phone and got all the apps installed that I need. When opening the SCB App it wants me to switch from wi-fi to mobile data to verify my phone number.

And here is my problem.

I'm not in Thailand at the moment.

If I put my ais SIM in my phone, switch to 📲 data outside Thailand, would I be able to register into the app or would it just block my account?

On the old phone I can use internet banking outside Thailand without any issues.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
