Hi, I am just opening my Thai bank account and wondered if anyone had advice on cheapest way of transferring large sums into the account. I can use Swift from my uk bank and have Wise and Revolut but open to any suggestions to minimise charges. Many thanks for any reply

Good morning Wise has removed option long term stay when transfering money to Thailand. Sent emails but get useless reply for support.

Any idea what option to choose now.

Advice needed about money from UK to Thailand. My daughter has recently moved to Thailand and is getting her Ed visa sorted. I'll be visiting her and sending her money, we both have wise cards (as yet unused). It suggests you can 'spend like a local' but I can't see how that works when she says they don't have contactless anywhere, also she doesn't know how to transfer her rent using Wise. She's always paid in cash and has to withdraw cash weekly. Is this how it is locally??

She's been taking money out of her uk bank at ATMs and being charged fees both ends. She tried to get cash using her passport in a bank to avoid atm fees but they refused.

I guess what I'm asking is what's the best way to use the wise card, she has a physical one and digital one, with different numbers (not sure why she has two?). It may be that I'm a dinosaur, but advice would be much appreciated.

Hello….

Not visa related but an inquiry involving money transfers.

I am currently living in the Philippines and hold some Philippine Peso.

I was wondering if it would be better to exchange here for US Dollars and bring them with me instead of peso….not sure as means exchanging twice !!

Hi to all UK expats .

I’m retiring to Thailand next year and need any advice from you on which are the best uk banks to hold an account for when I no longer live in the uk ( for private pension to be paid into plus savings) I already have a Thai bank account and property.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I just found out that my UK bank (Co-op) only facilitates foreign money transfers by telephone, so possibly time to move my accounts, any expats recommend any particular banks for online transfers? I use Wise for small amounts but I'm thinking of the 800k and monthly 65k, can I use Wise for those?

Hi folks, I’m trying to get some advise on money transfers from the US to a Thai bank account. What US banks have you had the best success with? Or what transfer app do you suggest? My existing banks either have have low exchange rates or do not do international transfers and cannot connect to WISE so far. Suggestions?
