That’s robbery

Wise for under 2 million i think I’ve heard. Larger amounts, usually bank to bank cheaper and safer. I ended up using my EU bank for 1m. Rate was good, fee wasn’t too bad. Wise would have been slightly cheaper. Just felt more safe using my bank for that amount.

I use wise all the time for small transfers.

great 👍 Useful to know

@Stuart ********

In Bangkok they only give after 90 day report, no?

@Lauren *****

more than half the year is usually when they start asking with with visa exemption

@Annette ********

very few does 🤷🏻‍♂️ But have to start somewhere. In some cases they do though

If you love your back, don’t go to Chiro. Go to a real Physiotherapist. I got very good experience with BPC.

As for health insurance, a global plan with one of the big ones like AXA or Cigna is safest bet for a farang. (No US coverage)

Might wanna do a MRI to check for hernia etc, not that expensive out of pocket. In Bangkok diags seems cheap, treatment expensive

@Brandon ***********

when renting condo long term, is it incorrect to register and report TM30 yourself ?

Maybe ask Australia?

@Jo *********

interesting, I stand corrected.

Seems like there’s conflicting info on their website. I guess not surprising for Thailand lol.

“If you have lost TM.6 or TM.47’s receipt or you have passed the 90 days limit without making the 90-day reporting, you must get a police notice from any police station before the appointment and pay fine 2,000 Baht (fine applies only in case of failing to make the 90-day report) to the immigration on the appointment date”

LTR is not exempt from 90 day reporting. At least according to BOI website. I posted the link to someone a few days ago
