I’m going to try what the admin suggests. See if she can log in and search for it.

true about with property - was advised by two banks not to use Wise for real estate purchase due to concerns of showing clearly the money was coming offshore.

Do a small transfer and take your bank paperwork to immigration and ask “is this entered correctly - I will do remaining balance the same way”? And bring a Thai person with you. Or just do the transfer the best way you have available already. But if worried - do a test.

cheers indeed. I can share that the immigration officer was very polite when I asked him if it was okay for me to go back to that line for domestic flights too. He actually stood up and went to his supervisor and she said yes for sure. And when he came back he pointed to the LTR stamp and said welcome anytime to come to that section.

that’s a pain you have to translate. For what it’s worth my accountant wrote a cover letter summarizing the returns into a single column. And he also used a brief of the taxes rather than the whole thing. And it was quick and easy that way. My only curveball was when my agent suggested I show titles to property and I had to get that doc sent from overseas. Turned out they approved me before I even got it to them. I asked my agent why did I bother and he said the more assets the better. But I hope at the 5 year mark it’s easier and just have to show returns.

thank you gents. I went through the diplomat line swimmingly. There was a large line on the other side and was happy to be in the lounge in just a few. Now enjoying finger sandwiches. My old self would still be on line. Thanks for the tip.
