Arriving in Thailand mid July on a non o retirement visa

Should I transfer my private pension directly each month into my Thai bank or should I arrange for my private pension to be paid into my UK bank and then withdraw monthly into my Thai bank. ??

Are there transfer fee's to be paid each month

And if so which option best suits

Hi! Which is the best method: converting the entire Saudi riyal to Baht or taking a card with me to convert Saudi riyal to Baht at a Thai bank’s atm?

Hello, my name is Joseph

I just applied for the DTV in Mexico City Embassy

Submitted all my documents and they had one document request where I had to post my CV three examples of work experience and then three examples of payment of income . I submitted that this morning and within two hours, my status changed to pending approval.

My concern is here with the three months that I submitted for financials

$15,808.48 December

$16,764.36 January

$22,486.22 February

When I submitted my application two days ago, my December financials were about $800 over the ฿500,000 now today with the conversion: ฿499,259

Since I am in the pending approval status is that still a good sign or do I have a major risk of being denied?

Thank you for anyone’s help or experience I appreciate it.

Also, has anyone ever been in the pending approval stage and then been asked for more documents or denied?

When transferring USD from my local bank to Wise and then to a Thai bank…about how much is WISE going to charge for their transfer fee? 25k usd being transferred to open bank account. I’m seeing $196. 🤷 and send it as USD and receive as Thai baht or receive as USD to Thai bank?

Whereas my Charles Schwab account will only charge me $15 via wire transfer but will take 3-4 days to be in Thai bank. Is there a massive charge on the Thai end? What am I missing? First timer here. Thanks! And no, not using an agent!!!

morning all, still on the question of wise for transferring money over , so if I input 800,000 baht it's giving my an exchange rate of 42.7 and have to send £19,758 pounds, and it's saying charges £120, so I've looked at the comparison list and they are more money to pay in to get less out, if that makes sense, I still think it's expensive, what do you guys think, any suggestions, thanks
