What visa are you on?

@Ray ******

Tourists don't need a bank account

It appears he has little or no savings as he can't do the 800k route. I'm looking at the bigger picture. At face value we have a guy who's , has no savings, no private pension fund and an income of 40,000 baht per month. I'm thinking "poor money management" as he's gone through say 50 years of working life and has nothing to show for it, and now he's going to try to live on 40k per month, with no safety net. The UK has government housing, rental assistance, free healthcare etc. It doesn't seem to equate, but it seems there's lots here saying he'll be right. I don't know

@James *************

He's strapped for cash as it is!

@LaTroy ********

Nope. It's 60 days

@Graham *****

The OP has asked the same question in the Wise Solutions Group and has been advised by other members that Bangkok Bank is the only bank which shows Wise transfers as International, although as Keith Baker has indicated, Kasikorn may also be consistent

@Tony *********

Yes I'm guessing he's bringing in savings, but if he is then it's not taxable. Even the UK can't tax savings (as much as they'd like to!)

@Tony *********

It sounds like he's bringing in savings, which are not assessable for tax anyway, irrespective of days spent here

@LaTroy ********

If you're from the US you don't need a visa on arrival. You get a free 60 day entry stamp which you can extend a further 30 days at an immigration office

No, it doesn't work with SCB. Reports suggest Bangkok Bank is the most reliable. I've used this method through Wise for about six years and it's worked every time
