Yes we had that unfortunate experience where the bank wouldn't certify this came from foreign sources even though I showed them my wise transactions which clearly showed it was taken from a US bank. Bangkok Bank was very inflexible even though I showed them proof. When I contacted wise back 2 years ago they said to use a wire transfer because they use local banks to complete transfers

A SWIFT transfer is a Wire transfer

@Scott ******

oh if you're trying to get money in for a retirement visa they need to see the funds came from a foreign source but if you don't care then that's fine You can use wise. We had a problem where the bank said the funds weren't from a foreign source since wise uses local banks to do the transfers so it doesn't show that it came via a swift transaction all the time It depends on the amount of the transaction as well I was told.

I didn't think Transit is allowed in BKK. This must be two separate tickets. Not sure if you can fly to BKK to take Air India. Maybe go via Singapore to India?

Wire transfer is what your bank will do. It's the safest way to prove your money came from outside the country. Don't risk using wise.. It's very hard to deal with them. They have a lot of complaints against them. When it works it works great When it doesn't work you're going to be in big trouble with them since they will not answer any of you emails.

@Jimmy *****

is the Swift a New thing with wise? They told me in the past to do a wire transfer.

Yes. There's no need to worry. You will just have to take another Free PCR test after a week apparently. That's the only difference.

Yes I'm in Chiang Mai.. They ask for it

If you want to show proof your funds came from overseas always use a wire transfer and never transfer wise. In fact transfer wise recommends you do a wire transfer

Having done the extension.. You need the following 1. Copy of your personal details page Visa and TM6 from your passport 2. Passport size photo 3. Fill out TM7 4) 1900 baht. Then I'll have two other forms that you have to sign that You agree that over staying your visa is a violation. These last two forms appear to be new but are very simple just a signature
