It is more strange they accepted a Wise account when you were approved, Wise just is not a bank.

or just transfer the money from Wise to your bank account before you visit immigration. When no valuta conversion Wise does not charge for that.

A bank just has to comply with more requirements and is controlled by other institutes. You can say Wise effectively functions as a bank, but that does not make it a bank. I also can function effectively as a bank to you when you hand me over your money and I promise to give it back immediately when you ask for it, but it seems obvious to me that it is not the same for visa approval.

When this happens in a country where Revolut is a real bank, I think you should report this to the National Bank who handed them the bank license.

Wise cannot give bank statements, as long as it does not have a bank license, but it is strange that the Wise account is accepted when you apply and not when you extend. Obviously immigration here is more strict than MFA. But it also means transferring the money to a real bank account before extending and transferring back to Wise afterwards should work. Wise normally does this within seconds, so you can show during visit immigration.

In Netherlands Revolut also has a banking licence, in the past it was only in Lithuania, resulting in Lithianian IBAN number, but now I have Dutch BIC/SWIFT plus IBAN. Wise is indeed not a bank.

Read your own post again, you said there are many visa types you can ONLY get within Thailand, until now you were not able to mention ONE. Maybe you should enhance your Google skills... but to me it is OK you keep insulting me. People like you only feel good when they can insult others. This whole discussion you could not mention a single fact that is true. Good riddance!

@Todd ********
Why should I keep applying, the visa is valid for some years. Again think before you write. And remember, insulting others only shows your own bad character.

spreading misinformation yourself, telling others are misinformed and then telling other people are dense? Facebook already has a lot of incorrect info, maybe just think and check before you write and not blame others for your own incompetence...
