Will my name appear when sending money via Wise to a Thai bank account?

กะลาสี *****

no fees from BKK Bank. Just the fee charged by Wise for sending the money from my bank in the US. If I send 65K THB, I think it's usually about $12 US but I'd have to check my account to be certain.

Contact Dee Money in BKK. Not sure if they do the USD to USD to the USA thing but they definitely do THB to USD to the USA.

What are the steps to update my visa after moving to a new province in Thailand?

กะลาสี *****

TM 30. I believe that you are supposed to register within 24 hours of relocation so when your family/you do the report, tell immigration you just moved.

What documentation do I need from my Thai bank for my retirement extension with an $800k THB deposit?

กะลาสี *****

to show immigration your balance on the day you apply for the visa and not the last time your account had any activity. At least that's what immigration told me.

กะลาสี *****

Everyone keeps telling you to update your bank book and they are correct. What nobody mentioned is that you need some type of activity in your account the day you update it/go to immigration. Do a 100 Baht ATM withdrawal for example and then update your bank book.
