It’s not on the official list of testing facilities. The nearest so far is at Prachuap Khirikan. I am told that are adding more facilities as time goes on. I am looking for info on this myself

65K Minimum each and every month I believe.

I don’t know if this applies to all, but for my experience when not showing as international transfer “wise “ explained the following. I am with kasikorn, if there is a technical problem paying to kasikorn then wise will pay into my “sister bank” which is Bangkok bank, and the transfer BKK to Kasikorn ,so it shows as an internal ( to Thailand ) transfer. Hence no good for your visa application. Even if you are with BKK bank the reverse could happen using kasikorn. I spoke with wise and they said it was done to ensure the transfer got to me as soon as possible, also in the future they would do whatever possible to ensure it goes direct to my kasikorn account. Since then it has been ok. If you have a moth that this has happened there is a way out of it…

@Albert ********
thanks for that. I chose the multiple entry because I will probably do quite a bit of travelling to neighbouring countries ( when possible) as well as visiting family in the uk.

I will explain a little better. I obtained a multiple entry O-A visa in the uk. When that ran out I obtained a years extension and paid 3,800 baht to make it multiple entry. Hope this clarifies

thanks for that. I have never obtained a permit before ( I have a multi entry visa - extension if that is what you are referring to) but I will ask before I go.
