And neither do I Wayne because it starts with a non-immigrant visa for 90 days but hey ho. Who am I to correct someone’s terminology

I’ve gone through the process to start a 12 month Retirement Visa by doing it on my own. (With help from my Thai Girlfriend)The less stressful way is the Agent Route but from what I’m listening to, this option is becoming more expensive. If you want to go it alone my posts give a little more insight into the first steps if you are coming from the UK. Also it would be beneficial to know what type of 12 month Visa you are looking for and like the previous comments, what your plan is

@Steven *****

Thanks mate. It does seem to have a lot of benefits attached. I’m a frequent flyer so the lounge access is always good

@Andy *******

I don’t think it’s that favourable Andy. Believe it or not the non fee charging Revolut Ultra at £600 a year is the best because there is no charges for international transfers and the exchange rate is as good as anyone’s but only if you are a frequent flyer because you get free lounge access, free international data, air miles, travel insurance and £4k worth of subscriptions like Nord VPN, Financial Times and Tinder Gold lol. I’m considering it because of the amount of travelling I do

@Fred ********

I couldn’t agree more but my inquisitive nature means I can’t help myself and finding out what options are out there

@Fred ********

Cheers mate. My account is with Krungthai bank and can only send 50k baht at a time. It works out at about £160 doing it that way but it appears from the responses and people with genuine interest in the post that Wise does seem to be the cheapest. However, if you have a Revolute Ultra account then there are no fees at all and the exchange rate is as good as Wise. However it costs approximately £600 a year to have that type of account

Top comment that Martyn. Read the post again. Make a relevant comment or just chill out mate

@Fred ********

is that a single transfer fee Fred for transferring 800k in one go

@Graham *****

Thanks for that Graham it appears that Krungthai bank does

What’s the difference in cost though. Ones free with a lower rate and the other you have to do 16 x £8 with a better rate?
