actually there are banks out there who issue Visacard or Mastercard credit cards that offer free withdrawals abroad. My Visacard is offering just that. I only get charged for the 250 Baht ATM fee. The X-change rate of a credit card provider actually is a VERY GOOD rate - it is actually very close to the Superrich oder XE-Exchange rate. Whilst you can find perfect credit cards in Europe, U-S. citizens still dream about such good conditions. With a few exceptions: Schwab Bank or Citybank credit card for example

even a METV will not be a guarantee of entry. EVERY touristic entry, regardless if its on a visa or not, is a touristic entry, and the overuse of it for a longstay within a period of 365 days, will be pulled from the deck of cards to get denied entry

@Chuck *****

it means, that every Immigration officer can see on your central computer page , that you have already been warned, when he scans your passport. The "flag"or the notice will be seen in the field that's marked with an orange arrow. You can be denied even on a valid 60-days tourist visa. A visa is no guaranteee for a succcessful entry. A tourist visa and the visa-exempt entries weight just the same and should not be overused within a period of 365 days

@Max ************

wrong, she needn't be in Thailand for that. She can get Thai passports for her children at the Royal Thai Embassy The Hague. The father needs to show that they are his children that's all that's to it

@Colin *******

wrong, while you can set the currency deposit in your WISE account to Thai Baht, or $U.S. or Euro or Swiss Francs, it doesn't make your WISE account a "Thai Bank Account" 😂😂😂😂😂 you are very funny

@Richard *******

🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are invited to try it for a foreign transfer and find out it doesn't work !

@Robert *********

not if you declare it upon entry, and have some proof the money was used in a Thai bank account for the applications to Extensions of Stay in Thailand. Absolutely no problem

@Alexander ******

you cannot use WISE for money transfers out of Thailand

@Steve ********

😅 never forget: TiT - this is Thailand, a land where water can flow uphill

@Klaus *********

you will be fine on a Multi Entry Tourist Visa, after having stayed abroad for a little longer than six months. But it is questionable if you can stay for another 6 months on visa-exempt entries. Immigration will check your TOTAL stamp history of the recent 365 days! Better get a multi entry TR Visa. Apply for it ahead of 4 weeks before December 9th, and send an email kindly ask them to issue the visa as close as possible to this flight date
