Now might be a good time to convert USD to Thai baht if you have been waiting. The Baht has had a strong run against the USD since April 2025 and the USDTHB bottomed out around 31.6 two weeks ago.

USDTHB has had a strong rally up to 32.25 on 9/25 and faces a range of resistance from 32.25 to 32.50 with the next major resistance coming up about 33.50.

My Wise transfer deposits (using Funds for Long Term Stay method) from Canada to Kasikorn Bank show this in my bank statement......

Does this indicate International deposit ??

If you have a retirement visa and 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account and decide to leave Thailand permanently, can I easily transfer that 800,000 baht back to my bank account in Belgium? I've heard it's not easy. Does anyone have experience with this?

I have a question regarding the financial proof requirement of 500,000 THB. I’m applying through the Thai Embassy in Rome, and on their website it states: “12,500 EUR (500,000 THB)”.

I’m a bit confused, since the two amounts are not exactly equivalent, especially with the current exchange rate, where 500,000 THB is more than 13,000 EUR.

Should I follow the amount in Thai Baht or is the 12,500 euros equivalent sufficient?

The reason I ask is because in some months my account balance was slightly above 12,500 EUR, but not always over the full 500,000 THB equivalent — just around the threshold.

Hi a relative newbie here.

I arrived from UK on Saturday on non o Visa

I have obtained certificate of residence from immigration and today was successful in opening a bank account with Krungthai Bank.

What is the correct way to transfer the 800,000 ?

Can I just do it from my UK bank direct to Krungthai bank?

Thanks in advance
