Looks like WISE dropped the category for "Funds for long term stay in Thailand " or words to that effect. Just did a transfer and didn't have that as a reason. Everyone I have done so far this year had that as a reason. I believe though that isn't really necessary for a renewal on a marriage extension of stay.

Hello to everyone, for a non immigrant O Visa we should transfer 800 000 Baht from our own account onto our Thai account in Thailand. Right?

The question is, how does a declaration ( report) of this transfer to German authorities and Thai authorities work?

Who will report it ? we as the one who transfers or the Banks which makes this transfer or get the money in Thailand?

Thank you in advance for your suggestions and information 🙏😊🙏

Curious I have an retirement visa now with the 800k in bank. I do get over 65k social security as well. Do I have to have it go to thailand bank or just get my social security awards letter notarized at embassy?

I just completed the LTR pensioner, went seamless. A few things to note; first there are some posts that say you can pay various ways. There are only two, cash or Thai bank transfer, that's it. You're at Chomchuri Square and pay at the same Immigration window everyone else does.

The second thing, it reads as if you get a work permit with the LTR visa, you don't. You're just eligible to get one via the BOI-LTR online system and you don't count as a foreign employee. You still have to have a registered Thai company hire/sponsor you. Spare the Mods and post any questions about WP's to the appropriate forums. I don't have anymore information anyway.

Process takes 1-1.5 hours, maybe less. However, if you have the 11-12 appointment slot you may have to come back after lunch. Like all other visa's, after the nice people at the BOI do there thing, the completed docs go to immigration for review and final approval, this can take some time. The last part as always is pay your fee then turn in you're visa application and passport at the Immigration window to be stamped. The only difference is you don't have to Que:)

I'm not including BOI steps here because it will vari and you will have someone assist you start to finish including walking thru the Immigration office and an out-brief when your done.

Good luck all.

I have found lots of useful information on this site and want to pose my first question. I send money to a Thai bank account each month for rent etc and have used Western Union. This month there has been a significant delay in transfer so I have registered to a Wise account. I am sending from UK. Wise offer 2 options - sending via bank transfer or using a debit card. There seem to be pros and cons to both. Does anyone have experience or advice of which method to use?

Hello, I have a question, does anyone have experience with the 800.000 THB for an O-A visa, can you pay this amount in cash into a bank account or do Thai banks cause problems and require the money to come from this amount?

Or can you only pay the amount into your bank account via bank transfer? Thank you very much

Another dumb question but one my dumbness needs an answer to.

I'm planning to buy a second hand motor for a decent amount of coin. How do I go about paying for it through my bank account without withdrawing a large amount of cash?

Hi,

I am currently coming to the end of my OA 1 year + 1 year retirement visa and instead of returning to Australia and starting the whole process again I intend applying for the "in country" Non O visa based on retirement.

Today I approached my Kasikorn bank branch here in Chiang Mai and enquired regarding the document/letter regarding confirmation of transferring funds (800,000 baht) from my Australian bank account to my Kasikorn bank account, as an international transfer.

The service staff wasn't sure that they could provide that service and so I spoke to a service officer at " head office". That lady said she could email me a "bahtnet" document but she wasn't sure whether immigration would accept it.

Anyone on here dealt with Kasikorn re this issue.

Regards!

Graham

Does anyone here use NETELLER?

I am looking for the cheapest way to withdraw money from my account, which is in Euros.

Bank transfer to a Thai account is horribly expensive.
