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

I will be arriving in Thailand October this year on a non O visa. My question is, what is the cheapest way to transfer 800k Baht from my English bank to a Thai bank. I have a Revolut card, but have never used it. Some people say use Wise, others Swift transfer. Your thoughts please gentleman?

Reporting latest experience. Yesterday transferred the monthly 65000 baht from my Australian bank account via Wise (Funds for longstay in Thailand) to my Bangkok Bank account. Transfer initiated at 9:40am, funds arrived in Bangkok Bank account sometime between 12:30 and 12:50pm correctly noted on the account as an international transfer, for immigration purposes. Transferred funds for rent and internet at around 1:30pm. Used QR Promptpay scan four times between 4:00pm and 8:00pm.

At 2:30pm ordered 12-month statement from bank app (for immigration purposes this coming week), which arrived via email at 4:30pm.

I'm on non-O retirement extension, BB customer for eight years.

Absolutely no problems, account not frozen or suspended.

Bangkok Bank and Wise not quite the ogres which some are suggesting!

Hello everyone. I have a question about Thai bank accounts. I know changes happen, but if I get a retirement visa or possibly a marriage visa, can I withdraw those funds from the US if I went back or do I have to remove funds while in Thailand? I’m hoping we stay, but my spouse may want to work enough work Quarters to qualify for Social Security which probably means living here unless she could do remote work with she hasn’t done before. Haven’t looked into those jobs yet

Hi all, sorry this has probably been talked about a hundred times but I am still struggling trying to get my head around this depositing money into a Thai bank account, so you are one of the lucky ones that gets a bank account within the first few days of arrival, you have to deposit 800000 baht and have it in your account for 2 months before you apply for your year extension, can you bring that amount into the country, plus spending money, or would it be best to use something like wise and transfer the money but what happens if it takes to long to get all the money transferred over so you have all the money in for the 2 mouth dead line remembering you only have a mouth to sort it, sorry again if this angers some people asking this but it is a concern to me and probably a lot of people in the same situation, and please no comments about how easy it was for you when it was years ago and everything was easier, lol

I currently reside in the US and I finally secured health insurance to meet the visa requirements.

I know this sounds like an idiotic question but I’m going to ask anyway. What is the easiest way to wire funds directly to the insurance company’s United Overseas Bank (UOB) account?

I have attempted to use Western Union, Wise, and even looked into international wires on my credit union website with no success.

Wise doesn’t list UOB. Western Union errors out citing the need for a BIC/Swift code. And I didn’t see the option to wire funds internationally for any of my 4 credit unions. Its late so Im sure I am overlooking something.

Any suggestions? TIA

Any update on Wise ? I know of a Thai woman who recently tried to send money from UK to the Kasikorn bank and the payment was refused by the bank.

Are there specific requirements for the 65,000 transfer into my account each month for the next 12 months? I probably will use Wise from my USA account. Do I remember reading something about how it has to be labeled?

If you go to a thai bank with euros,then change to baht in the bank and credit it to your account would that be recognised as money coming from overseas?

Can anyone confirm please that transfers from UK to Kasikorn bank the Thai bank doesn't charge fee?

Thx.
