I am the someone who needs to correct you. If you do a direct transfer from your home bank to your Thai bank account, and ask them to exchange into THB before transferring, it will cost you a sh---load of money. It's better to use WISE, transfer the money to the WISE account in your home currency, and WISE will send the money in Thai Baht to your Thai bank account at a very good exchange rate, fees already deducted. An exchange of cash at Superrich in Thailand would get you an only marginally better result

@Tom ********

. . . . . . . Mick Schumann . . . .you don't need a WISE account. You only need to be registered as a user of WISE. When transferring money to your Thai bank account, you just send the money to the WISE account in your home country currency

send the money in your home currency to WISE, and let them handle the last step. They will transfer Thai Baht to your Thai bank account. When using WISE, make sure the transfer is coded as coming from abroad in your Thai bankbook. Just tick the box in the WISE webseite "Funds for long term stay in Thailand" this will do the trick

@Johny *****

it all depends on his stamp history of the recent 365 days. . . . he can most definitely be asked why he is back on a second visa-exempt entry. And they can ask him for the three famous proofs: Cash 20,000 THB, proof of accomodation, and proof of onward travel within 60 days

a single re-entry permit keeps the stay permit it was issued for, alive and valid, for one exit and re-entry

he can use his original marriage documents to apply for the 90-days Non-Imm-O family visa in Australia. Once he has entered Thailand, he needs to get his marriage acknowledged inside Thailand, in order to be able to apply for the 1-year extension. He needs an embassy legalized translation of his original marriage documents, co-legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok or their office in Pattaya. With these legalized papers he can get his marriage acknowledged on an Amphur in Thailand

You can get a 90-days Non-Imm-O Visa based on being the spouse of a foreigner working in Thailand, on your Immigration office inside Thailand. The process is called "change of visa type". You "change" from the touristic entry to the initial Non-Imm-O visa, and from there you can apply for the 1-year extension. However, you need 15 workdays left on your current stay permit, in order to apply for the "change". You need to exit Thailand and re-enter, to get a new 60-days stay permit stamp. . . . . . Check out the number 4 and 5 on this Immigration website, to see the requirements needed for the application

the re-entry stamp in the picture is that of a single re-entry permit. It would cost 1000 THB on Immigration, or 1200 THB at the airport. If you plan to exit and re-enter Thailand more often than 3 times during your one-year extension of stay permit, then buying a multi re-entry permit for 3800 THB would make sense

it's refreshening to see at least one person here who has his wits together 🙂
