it’s right outside the Novotel doors facing the airport. A bit to the right and across the road under parking 🙂 took me 3 times staying at Novotel to discover it too. Found it recently when the 711 inside was under repair and with Covid everything else was closed or closed far too early.

There is another convenient store that no one really knows about. Walk the underground to the Novotel hotel and it’s just opposite the hotel entrance under the parking lot. Or simply walk ground floor across the parking garage.

credited and deposited yes. To any bank. But did immigration accept it as an international transfer in the coding? Maybe they have fixed their 3rd party step in the past year.

double check. But this has been stated in many visa groups regarding Wise. As so many people encounter this problem. I checked for my visa too. But luckily they didn’t care if it said overseas (SCB and krungsri) otherwise I would have had to use Bangkok bank. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Garrett **********

which part? I use wise all the time to transfer to Thailand. Maybe it recently changed

Only Bangkok bank shows up as an international transfer to Thailand using Wise.

From what I know wise uses Bkk bank as their main local branch.

If you use another bank it first goes through Bkk bank and after appears as a local transfer.

(I’d open a Bangkok bank account and confirm it will show up as overseas transfer)

You must select “money sent for long term visa” on wise.

The method it is removed from your USA account is up to you during the transaction. Each method has a different fee.

Yes. It’s typical 2 business days or less for transfers by wise (holiday on either end can slow it down)

@Danny *******

for USA? No, because I know people who have flown there just to get vaccinated- and done so in the Miami airport without leaving and flown out right after.

Where is your transit? I know in some airports you can get vaccinated/boosters. Miami airport does shots even for non USA passport holders.

my friend got his re-entry permit at BKK airport this morning at 1am. They did ask for 1 photo. But otherwise normal procedure. Side note. He said it took 1.5 hours in queue for check in. Give yourself enough time as they are slow on checking documents for all travelers.

I think it depends on how long she wants to stay. Pretty sure tourist visa is 6 months max (?) Another Canadian friend got a marriage visa for his thai wife and she got 2.5 years. I’m working on mine for my Spanish partner but Thai is different from EU. But this group is for visas for Thailand. Better to ask in the Canadian group for people who has returned this year with their Thai partners.
