morning all, still on the question of wise for transferring money over , so if I input 800,000 baht it's giving my an exchange rate of 42.7 and have to send £19,758 pounds, and it's saying charges £120, so I've looked at the comparison list and they are more money to pay in to get less out, if that makes sense, I still think it's expensive, what do you guys think, any suggestions, thanks

Question for Bangkok Bank users. I am making monthly deposits of over 65.000 through Wise with the same reason “long term stay “.

Most codes show “foreign T/T” but TWO show “Dep TRF FR E-CH”. Anyone know if this still shows foreign deposit for immigration. 

Thanks

How does the 65000 baht per month work? Can I withdraw it right away? I am talking about the 2nd extension. Tia

Two topics.

1) this is a follow up from my marriage visa renewal where I went from seasoned account balance to income based verification. The bank REFUSED to give me the report (it's been a month, I forget the name) saying the source of the funds was overseas. The branch in my town admitted (which was a surprise) they had no idea and had never done it and the branch where I opened the account told the local guy to fuck off. I brought some other report that just showed the deposits and it was accepted. So good news, but also irritating.

2) has anyone here ever visited the SEZ in Laos across from Sop Ruak? It doesn't seem like the casinos have websites, or maybe it's just the virtue signalling layer of Google hiding them.

Bangkok Bank appears to be the problem all round. This from Wise

A few questions for those with DTV and Bangkok bank accounts

1. Do Bangkok bank notify you? Message? Email?

When we try to make any mobile banking transactions it now says "recipient invalid" (they were fine before), so we wonder if that means they have cancelled our account?

2. If we are cancelled, do we have to visit the branch where we setup the account?

Thanks for your help

I went to jomtien immigration today to ask about the deposits coding issues. Spoke to the officer at window 8. He basically said bangkok bank isnt entirely cooperative with immigration anymore. He said quote. Kasikorn better. Im going tomorrow to the Kasikorn international desk on Pattaya klang to request a credit advice letter on my September transfer, was quoted 200 baht. does kasikorn code their incoming wise transfers as international? I will inquire about that before opening a new account.

Regarding the wise transfers to bkk bank now coded as something other than the previous FTT code. I downloaded the wise invoice pdf which clearly shows it was as n international transfer. However i think is best to start doing wise as a swift transfer to avoid any confusion. Comments?

My Wise transfer deposits (using Funds for Long Term Stay method) from Canada to Kasikorn Bank show this in my bank statement......

"Trade Finance Deposit

Trade Finance

Trade Ref no. IR25083000037050"

Does this indicate International deposit ??

Something new! Bangkok bank.

Very stressful, because I have to arrange this for my retirement visa, monthly method.

With all alarming news, about BKK bank freezing accounts, I decided to do the transfer, early in the month, if something goes wrong, I can still find a solution.

Today I send, as usual, as I am doing for many years now, my monthly transfer to my BKK bank account. After proceeding, I get a few minutes later, a mail, that BKK bank refused the transfer.

Reason should be, that name of account is not correct. Ok, although this has not been a problem for all these these years, I see that on Wise, middle name is missing. I put the middle name, and Wise send it again.

It is now said, the transfer is done, and should be in my account in minutes.

5 minutes later, this time, the whole transfer is definitely cancelled.

I not know what to do here. I need that amount in my account for the end of the month, otherwise, my visa will not be renewed next year. Neither my wife, who is here on my visa.

IMPORT UPDATE

I changed the name, deleted old recipient.

Things got worse. Now it is in account in seconds. No international transfer anymore, although I put for living in Thailand.

It states DEP TRF FR E CH

internetbanking. Could that be because Wise transfer international through another bank?
