Which country registers a phone number under a passport?

@Stefan ***********

It was not "without warning".

They have sent me emails and messages through the app. If you blithely ignore them, that is your issue.

@Lee **********

Drivel.

A reentry permit does not extend the visa.

@Chris ****

You're still off the mark. He's talking about another extension by himself to an extension made by an agent.

He stated he was putting 64k in the bank monthly. That's wrong and won't be accepted.

He also wants to apply for a new extension. It's doubtful that he had the 800k in the account for three months after receiving his current extension. That's another fail.

So in no aspect has he got his finances correct to do what he wants to do.

And if you think 800k four months before an extension is a safety margin to the two months required by immigration, then state it.

The reason why so many ask almost daily the same question is that over 50% of the replies are irrelevant, inaccurate or conflicting.

Probably it's even worse, because I've now blocked several hundred posters who post utter drivel, possibly from Soi Buakhao during the afternoon half price beer session.

@Steve *****

There is no 4 month requirement from immigration. Nothing has changed regarding the non-imm O retirement extensions.

@Nick ***********

It is always best to check.

That extra requirement would come down a bit hard if an extension was refused because of it, and there was no time left to comply with the local rule.

It's 65,000 per month, 64,000 will not be accepted.

@Lynnette ******

One bank not "some banks", maybe even "some branches of one bank".

And that is not relevant to what he is trying to achieve.

@Chris ****

Drivel.

You have no idea when his extension is due, so you cannot state everything is in order.

And

The requirements for banked money are 800k two months before renewal and three months after, 400k for the rest of the year.

Not what you posted.

@Bill ********

There have been a few complaints posted.

However, they are vastly outnumbered by the silent customers who have no problems at all.

WISE now has in excess of 15 million customers, roughly growing at 20% a year. It's inevitable that some transfers will have issues.

SWIFT transfers are more difficult to set up and track.

WISE is easy and the tracking is provided automatically with an estimated time to arrive.

If a SWIFT transfer goes astray, you are left dealing with the banks directly. WISE takes care of all that hassle.

You can also thank WISE and similar companies for breaking the banking monopoly and bringing down transaction prices and narrowing exchange rate spreads.

With WISE you can also send directly to various wallets such as in the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, an extremely useful feature.
