I doubt anybody here can answer your question.

Not many in their right mind would apply in spain due to how they do things.

When it can take 10 days to get a fishing licence, a visa for a non Spaniard is going to be a nightmare.

yes I cannot find anything about a Guarantor BUT asking for accommodation for the duration of the visa is standard at some Embassys as can be requiring a flight itenary for the duration of the visa.

The EU Embassys can be strict on their requirements

Have you read the requirements at the particular Embassy or consulate you will apply at?

Time deposits that don't allow instant access are not accepted. The other issue even with unlocked time deposit accounts, is you cannot do an account update due to the inability to put a small amount in (mostly) to create the update. They may also not allow 2 accounts or even a time deposit account at all, depending on the particular immigration office.

the issue is, foreign transfers being used for anything in Thailand need to be proved by using the exact same process. There is no seperate process when proving foreign income for immigration or the land office.

Anyway, good luck because that is the only answer coming from Transferwise.

Hello Ronald,

Thank you for contacting us.

Transfers to THB would still be sent locally but we are able to route your transfer using certain banks that could provide you with a document proving that the transfer was a foreign exchange transfer.

These banks are:

Bangkok Bank.

Kasikorn Bank.

The way through this would be for you to always give us a call once you have made a transfer for the funds to be sent through any of these bank alternately, we could enable that your transfers are routed through any of the bank of your choice as much as we are able to do so.

Should the funds be sent through Bangkok bank and you have an account with Bangkok, you would need to reach out to Bangkok Bank branch where you have an account and provide the following documents:

1) Bangkok Bank Savings Passbook or Statement showing the specific transaction

2) Passport of Recipient

3) Agreement of the purchase of Condominium (for purchasing accommodation purposes)

If you do not have an account with Bangkok, you would need to provide the following to Bangkok Bank's HEAD office

Credit receipt of recipient bank transaction of the specific bank transaction

2. Passport of Recipient

3. Agreement of the purchase of Condominium (for purchasing accommodation purposes)

Once you have done so, Bangkok bank will provide you with a Confirmation Letter of International Funds Transfer and there would be a fee of 100 THB payable to Bangkok Bank .

Should the payment be sent through Kasikorn Bank to a Kasikorn bank account , you would need to provide the following documents to nearest Kbank International Trade center where you have an account and provide the following documents:

1) Recipient Bank Savings Passbook or Statement showing the specific transaction

2) Passport of Recipient

3) Visa of Recipient

These are the only 2 partners that are able to provide this document to prove that the transfer is a FET transfer. And we would be willing to cooperate with you in the best of our ability to ensure that your transfers are sent using a particular partner.

Should you have any question, feel free to contact us.

Regards,

He's asking about a first 60 day exit when using a METV when applying in London?

That's why I said I don't know what they want.
