Ha, the money that is coming via Wise goes to the Kasikorn Bank. There it is flagged as an overseas transfer. That is where Thai governemnt authorised the Kasikorn Bank. Just my guess, that might be the reason why Bangkok Bank (lost that business) became so surly and unfriendly to foreigners.

If your endpoint bank is not Kasikorn, then Kasikorn sends the money to your bank. The money is there but labelled as "Internet Transfer" as it is between Kasikorn and your bank.

Some leg work may be involved to get Kasikorn to give some document that the transfer was originally an overseas transfer.

>>You can apply from home country or a country you can show proof you are residing or staying in.

Must apply from the country of residence, more strict than "can apply".

A government issued ID, I live in Japan, Australian passport.

Has to be from where you reside, not a country you are visiting or travelling through.

And you have to stay there, within the jurisdiction of that particular Thai Embassy/Consulate until Non O - eVisa 90 days is approved. Might be 2 days, 7 day but not much longer. Mine was within 4 business days.

>>Entry stamp, accommodation address.

That is when you are already in Thai. Their stamps and Thai address. TM30, Certificate of Residence if it is needed (Opening a bank account, Thai driving license).

@Lawrence ********

The OP needs another 60 days. So, leaving Thai to wherever and back toThai, get another 60 days, if there is no apparent history of using border runs that Immigration would have on their screens.

@Nongnuch *******

25 years and my Thai wife with me in Japan, our daughter now a student in Australia, we own homes in Thai and in Japan?

Been to every pit of Thailand, 30 thousands kms.

Now, as retired, settling in Thai, doing all the admin shits. A few days from now, it will all be over.

Thai is my destiny. No dreams, no paradise. I love Thais as people, respect them.

@Nongnuch *******

Why would I care how much you like my wording?

I am in Bangkok, all falling into the right place.

@Nongnuch *******

As if did not know that.

@Nongnuch *******

You said: It is IMPOSSIBLE that you entered Thailand on a “1-year Non-Imm-O Visa”.

I am sitting in my Bangkok home , entered on that Non-O 1 year extension, 29. October, posting now from there.

You said: "A lot of what you wrote doesn’t make much sense, and you seemingly haven’t understood the difference between a visa and a stay permit

keep learning"

I am the boot on the ground. I set 2 weeks to fix all admin things.

and then enjoy.

You said "Much better doing it yourself than using an agent that can lead to issues down the line".

I can spell out what the issues will be if someone had used an agency. The agency would get you a fully legal 1 year extension Non -O visa.

The caveat is : agency would make your TM30 at the adrress you would not even know where it is. The Visa would be legally issued and stamped in your passport from some Immigration office in a far flung province. All OK.

It is legal, I enterend Thai on it 29. October 2025. on Non-O visa 1 year from an agency that charged me 34,000 THB.

Then, renewal. Your address (TM30) may well be different now if you have it at all (if you had used an agency and live elsewhere, not in a province/address you may hardly know where it is), Immigration would refuse to extend your 1 year stay until you sort it out.

Now, that I have everything sorted out, Yellow Book, Thai ID, Thai Driving Licence, TM30 for my home that I own in Bangkok, a new bank account that I opened with Kasikorn bank, I might even use that agency to do the leg work upon the renewal of my 1 year extension stay in Thai. It would not be THAT expensive.

I did that yesterday. AIS made eSIM with Thai phone number in my Japan iPhone and I have 2 eSIMs in it and can switch between.

I took a 3,850 THB 1 year unlimited Internet package and the receipt shows my name, passport number and Thai address (my own condo).

AIS staff said "This is what your bank wants to see".
