I was just curious. The best way to transfer the 800,000 baht that is required for visa from your bank in America to a Thai bank when opening a new account. Do they have a domestic router number in Thailand? Thanks

In terms of the 65.000 THB monthly transfer to replace the 800.00 deposit for the Retirement Visa, does it need to be send from an organization (for example the Social Security), or can it be from a private account (even in my own name), assuming all months the 65.000 THB are transfered ? Thanks.

Hi, just wondering if the banks have changed the amount you can transfer from abroad, I was using wise and this message popped up. I never read about a change. I thought the max was 50k apart from the big 3 banks.

Has anyone experienced issues transfering funds from Wise to any Thai bank account recently? I’ve done many transfers before but all of a sudden it was returned and unable to proceed with the transfer.

I read somewhere that your 65,000 Baht monthly income has to come from a ‘Govt Pension’ source?…Is it okay if it comes from a SIPP (a private pension pot)?…

Hi all,

A shock to the system combined with a degree of ignorance.

My initial 12 month Non - O extension of stay (based on being over 50) expires in the first week of July and I intended to apply for a further 12 month extension based on the monthly income method of 12 consecutive months of international transfers (minimum 65,000 baht each month).

The issue is as follows:-

My Kbank branch informed me that my monthly deposits have been transferred from my Australian Credit Union to the Bank of America in Bangkok and therefore the transfer from them to my Kasikorn Bank account is not deemed to be an international transfer. The statements refer them to be automatic transfers (I was aware of that but still thought they counted as an international transfer).

Has anyone had similar issues and is there a way around it. I am meeting with a visa agent here in Chiang Mai on Monday.

Regards!

Graham

So how long do you have to have 65000baht going into a thai bank account for immigration

I bank with Krungsri. For years I have maintained a 800k balance. I would like to switch to the 65k per month option. I use Wise to transfer monies to my Krungsri account. I always select the 'funds for long term option'. How can I be sure my transfers meet Immigration requirements?

Not sure if it's right place to ask before I go to bank but is there an easy way to transfer funds from Australian bank account to my K bank account please?

Can anyone give me some insight on returned money transfer to Bangkok Bank, no problems before and recent transfer was returned by the bank.
