It's the bank! If you transfer to wise first then move to Thailand when you need it it takes seconds. Depending on your Thai Bank you could send a large amount that way. In the USA wise pays interest on your account.

From what I gather from the Canadian health care site is that if you have the vaccination and you are exposed the follow up is two injections not the full program since you have the antibodies in your system. Must be like a booster shot?

I was given advice from a friend who has lived in Thailand for a long time to get the Rabies vaccination before I retire! His family has had several lost to rabies. He said the monkeys carry rabies.

It was called the Glory world Visa

Gord I brought my girlfriend into Canada last November and I was surprised that it went easy she used someone there in Bangkok they sent me a list of documents for me to send passport, house particulars, letter of responsibility, employment verification they charged 3000b once they set everything up she went for the interview and I think she was approved in 5 days. The process took maybe two months. She had been to Germany twice to visit her sister so she had a history of abiding by previous Visa's which is important. But she got a 6 month visitor visa.
