AI Scope which embassy have you asked who told you that you can?

@Nick ******

only the relevant embassy can tell you with a 100% guarantee how they regard savings in a WISE account. You, yourself, cannot give any reliable advice, and I NEVER said that my advice is 100% correct

@Nick ******

we don't know for sure . .some embassies are known for not accepting it as financial proof. The OP didn't tell us through which embassy he will apply

@Jim ******

I use WISE since they days it was called "Transferwise" for money transfers from my German bank account over the WISE Belgian bank account to my Thai SCB account. With WISE I get get more bucks for bang than with a SWIFT foreign transfer through my home bank. . . . . .The WISE transfers are through within a few minutes, as far as I can check it in my SCB online banking App! Additionally I take cash with me on every flight to Thailand and exchange it in the BKK Airport basement or at SiamExchange near the MBK Center in Bangkok, where I receive only marginally more than from a WISE transfer

you could search in the DTV Facebook group and find actual reports where a WISE account was rejected. Up to you. It doesn't hurt if you ask the embassy which you plan to use, for their policy regarding a WISE account

A Wise account may be accepted for a Thai DTV visa, but it is not guaranteed, as acceptance is embassy-specific. Some embassies have successfully processed applications using Wise statements, while others have denied them because Wise is not a traditional bank.

You must provide an official statement (not a screenshot), and it is best to confirm the specific embassy's policy directly before applying.

Factors to consider

Embassy discretion: Each embassy or consulate has its own rules, so check with the specific one where you plan to apply.

Online vs. traditional bank: Wise is a financial technology service, not a traditional bank, which is the primary reason for potential rejection.

Official documentation: Ensure you provide a printed, official statement downloaded from the Wise website, not a screenshot from the app.

User experience: Anecdotal evidence shows success in locations like Hanoi and Athens, but also denials in other locations, especially with stricter embassies like the one in Malaysia.

Proof of funds: The requirement is to show at least 500,000 Thai baht in a bank account to cover a six-month stay.

Recommendation

Contact your embassy: The most reliable approach is to contact the specific Thai embassy or consulate where you intend to apply and ask if they accept Wise statements as proof of funds.

Consider alternatives: If your embassy does not accept Wise, you will need to use a traditional bank account that meets their requirements to show proof of funds.

it depends. Since WISE is not a "real" bank but just a service provider, it could be denied. Revolut is a real bank - in Lithuania (or Lettland, I don't exactly remember)

Anonymer Teilnehmer 607 you can have any visa of different countries at the same time, but you cannot hold two separate visas or stay permits for ONE country simultaneously

Anonymer Teilnehmer 607 you probably have no "visit visa" at all, but entered Thailand visa-exempt and received a 60-days stay permit. Same in case you have a 60-days extensions based on family visit, you need to leave Thailand which will make the stay permit void, before you apply for the DTV. So in any case, when you exit Thailand without a re-entry permit, the stay permit expires and you are free to apply for another visa
