sure that's why you were asking questions about a TR visa previously and 90 day reporting. 🤦

It's because your asking for a 7 day refusal. It comes into effect the day they process it, you would have less time if they did it now. Just go ask for standard 30 day extension.

As an Aussie this is what I had to do
Apply for emergency passport and replacement passport.
Apply for extension under emergency passport.
When receive proper passport transfer to new passport.
Note you will only get an extension for the validity of the emergency passport.

as an FYI. Embassies fall under ministry of foreign affairs (MFA). Immigration falls under Royal Thai Police. RTP
MFA sets the rules for a Visa
RTP sets the rules for Immigration
Your question would fall under RTP so anything MFA advises is often incorrect.

I'm not sure tbh. I was using their online calculator for this calculation.
There would be a way to transfer large amounts but I'm not sure the details.

-
The charge is clearly shown in your post.
$1000.00 sent to Wise
-$7.47 fee that wise take
$992.53 is the amount that Wise convert to THB
If wise converted $1,000 @ 23.1689 you'd receive THB 23,168.9
But due to the fee you only receive THB 22,995.83
I don't know how else to show you maybe reach out to Wise and ask them if they charge a fee as it's clear you don't believe anyone else.
