My first retirement visa is nearly ended. I want to renew it and based on the monthly income option. I’ve asked others the following question with unsatisfactory responses, so I’m hoping someone here has some experience and is able to reply.

I’ve been sending the required amount, and more, by wire transfer from my American bank to my Bangkok bank account for more than a year now.. But in recent months I’ve been transferring that amount using the Wise app, because it is cheaper and faster. But someone suggested to me that immigration may not accept that form of transfer, or, alternatively, my Thai bank may not issue the required documentation if that is the means of transfer.

Is there some form of “authorized“ transfer that I should have been using to support my request for a retirement visa? Has anyone met that requirement while transferring money to their bank using an app like Wise as opposed to a wire transfer from a foreign bank to a Thailand bank?

I undoubtably meet the spirit of the law, but I’m unsure about the letter of the law. Advice please. By the way, I am in Chiang Mai, if that makes a difference
