Slightly off topic but a segment off requirements for a long term extension. I am UK based passport bank account etc. For transferring the required sums I have hit a brick wall with my bank. They do not send money to Thailand. I am looking for recommendations for a 3rd party way, any recommendations from people in the same situation would be very much appreciated

Hi Guys, opened my two bank accounts yesterday with KASIKORNBANK in Hua Hin and now want to fund them. First to transfer money to a savings account..and a mimimum of 800k bht then transferring from there to a Fixed Deposit Account which pays some low interest, about 1%, but better than nothing. The minimum 800k bht to stay in that account to satisfy Non O immigrant requirement.

I have been having a nightmare trying to transfer money from my UK Lloyds account..with also exorbitant transfer costs. So transferred some money from my Wise account just to see the difference. The Wise transaction was done in seconds and at a good rate of 43.5bht / £.

I am now thinking of doing the balance with Wise but understand there may be issues in the future.(?). So would appreciate any advice?

And btw: didn’t need to go to immigration at all. Just took my owner documents, blue book etc., together with my passport and that was enough evidence for them to open my accounts. Thank you.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has found an efficient method of moving money from Canada to Thailand?

I've just been using ATMs, but the fees are high, and also found bank transfers to be just as costly

Need some immediate advice regarding the retirement visa.

I just got to Thailand about a week ago and am on the Non-O initial 90 day visa. I plan to sign a one year lease within a week or so, open a Thai bank account immediately after that, and then transfer the 800k baht to the account so I can let it sit there for two months before I apply for the one year extension.

*However I just found out this potential problem:* I already transferred the 800k baht to Wise so I could transfer it to the Thai bank account once I open it, but I heard that using Wise for the 800k baht transfer and not a direct wire transfer from my US bank could cause immigration to deny my one year extension. Has anyone encountered this issue? If I don't use Wise and just wire transfer another 800k baht from my US bank will that make everything ok?

I am utterly confused and appreciate any advice on this, thanks!

Recently tried to send money to family through wise. Never had problems before. But last transaction refused. Wise say it's because Thailand has changed banking rules. Your name from sending account has to match bank account name in account Thailand. How can you resolve this is the question?

Has anyone got their money back from Bangkok bank?? They refuse to give me my money it’s been 3 months

Is anyone having problems transferring money to kasikorn bank this week. I send money there regularly using wise but for some reason this time the bank says it hasn't arrived although I had confirmation it had from wise

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?
