Why has Western Union become cheaper than Wise for transferring money to Thailand?

yes it does - Wise has thai bank partners so they send to them and they transfer them to the bank and account the sender requested

How efficient is the immigration office in Udon Thani for visa extensions?

Kim *********

yes they are very kind in Udon Thani 😊 And fast. When I applied for my 1st 1 year extension of stay they were not happy with some of the photos and my wife's housebook had not been updated with the name change. We were told to just send what they asked for from the Line app 👍 very good instead of having to go back.

@Priya *********

you don't get a visa on arrival - you get a visa exempt entry permission. Visa on arrival is for a few countries - around 20 - and costs money
