Yes, but you never need to change the reason if you're banking with Bangkok Bank or KBank. Like I said, it's important when sending larger amounts.

I know, my bad, I was just a bit to fast, and forgot to edit my comment due to making coffee. 😏

After a few, maybe just a couple of transfers via Wise, you won't have to chose reason yourself if using same reason. Wise will use the previous one automatically. For me "Funds for long term........." is always there. I just have to enter the amount. Pretty neat imo.

It's not always about the visa. Think ahead. Showing up as international/foreign in your account is ALWAYS a plus.

Always go for "Funds for long........." regardless of the reason for the transfer, especially when sending large amounts.

I corrected his post.And the reason "Funds for long term stay in Thailand" is very important, not only for the correct type of visa at immigration,but for the possibility to repatriate money in a Thai bank if you decide to go back home. The 400k or 800k must be transferred from abroad.

If you arrive on a tourist visa it should be ok. But it's always up to the immigration officer.
