Is Wise (formerly TransferWise) a reliable service for transferring money to Thailand from Switzerland?

Jim **********

transfers below 50k are fine and generally take just a couple of minutes - sometimes instant.

50k or above can meet delays and take days

There is also a transfer limit of, i think, about 2m baht

What happens if you overstay your visa in Thailand for 3 years and try to leave?

Jim **********

If you own up at border exit, you will cop a 20,000 baht fine and a 5 year ban. If they catch you before you get there, it’s a 20,000 fine, deportation and at least a 10 year ban - you will be jailed for the duration during this process.
