Recent change in Wise to Bangkok Bank ‘International Funds Transfer’ tagging.

Prior to this month transfers Wise to Bangkok Bank took 3-5 days but where tagged correctly as ‘International Funds Transfer’. However this month the same transfer occured in seconds and appears to have been routed through Kbank and then received at Bangkok Bank as a local bank to bank transfer.

Note: the Wise process did not stop to ask the reason for transfer which I previously tagged as ‘funds for long term stay in Thailand’

I am on the NON-O retirement extension based on 65,000 thb monthly. I am concerned that Bangkok bank will not be able to provide a document for the next extension identifying 12 monthly international funds transfers.

Note: I will print a receipt from Wise each month and save. Remains to be seen how this new change will play out.

I have decided that for my 2nd retirement extension next year that I will use the 65,000 baht monthly deposit method. What I would like to know is what do you use for your reference number when you are using Wise for your monthly transfers? (the transfers are marked as international funds transfer already).

My second question is has anyone had any problems in the last month getting a full year print out and yearly bank letter from Bangkok Bank lately? Thank you.

So how many people have been buggered by transferwise using a different bank this month for there monthly amount to gain there extension based on 12 months foreign telegraph transfer. Hands up ?
