Hi everyone can you transfer the money for Visa 800,000 baht? Can I use Wise? If so how do you do because I believe it has to be an international transfer? I know this is not a Visa related but maybe someone can help.

While I have the required 800,000 baht for the retirement extension deposit, it is located in a tax deferred retirement account, which I’m loathe to touch. A wealthy Thai friend (who I’ve known for over 40 years and is like a brother) has suggested that he fund the 800k, while I deposit 65,000 a month from my pension - eventually leading to the 800k being freed up. I realize not every Immigration office allows the hybrid system, but my question is: will the 800,000 coming from another person raise any red flags?

Has anyone created a WISE Thailand on DTV and with Rental agreement?

FYI, to my Western friends there is no WISE account in India

Does anyone use Revolut to transfer to Thai bank account? And use these transfer as fund confirmation (65k) to yearly retirement visa. I can not find any viable selection when trying to transfer, like "Funds for long time stay" etc

Hi all, not sure if this will be allowed by admin as it’s not strictly visa related. I entered Thailand on 11 Jan on a non O Visa - thanks largely to this group for great advice and guidance.

Purpose of visa was to open a bank account ( again thanks for advice in this group) to finalise my brother’s financial affairs- my brother lived in Chiang Mai and was killed in a motorcycle incident. I closed my brother’s account and transferred funds across, there is also compensation payout to come. My question is has anyone transferred a large sum of money internationally and what cost am I likely to pay ?

I live in Australia for context Any advice much appreciated thanks 🙏

If I sell my house in Ireland and deposit in my Thailand Bangkok bank will I be taxed on this money?

Hi everyone.

If I transfer money from my uk bank account to my wise account and change the pound sterling to Thai bahts within my wise account, once in Thailand I intend to transfer the 800,000 bahts from my wise account into my new Thai bank account, would that satisfy the rule which says your money should have come from outside Thailand?

Thank you for any advice. 🙏

Anyone know what's going on with wise.

I transfer money using wise into my Bangkok bank I mark it as long term for retirement but when I check my Bangkok bank account it shows up as DEP TRF FR E-CH not international transfer. Has something changed with Wise because before it would show up correctly. Also will immigration except it when going for visa renewal

Thanks

Anyone do a transfer lately through WISE to Bangkok Bank. I looked at my bankbook at it was coded as a Cash Deposit. I pulled up the transaction on WISE and it clearly states Funds for Thailand. Is Bangkok Bank not coding FTT for foreign transactions anymore?

What’s the best way to regularly transfer Thai Baht to my UK bank account ? Wise will not work.
