@Doug ******
that's not right. I have 2 Thai bank accounts and I use Wise to transfer to them both, no problems.

listen to the advice, these people responding to you are correct.

you sound like an Aussie, so am I. I went did the evisa and was directed to the Sydney Consulate. When you get to the visa section choose non immigrant O and in the next drop down menu choose "other". The next drop down menu will show pensioner over 50 y/o. Choose that one. They will check your funds and must be up to date to the day you apply. The good part of this visa is that there in no bs compulsory Thai health insurance. You can use that non o visa to open a Bangkok Bank account. Since coming here I have extended my visa and all is good. Good luck.

when i applied for my Non O visa through the evisa site there was only 2 options, 1. 800k THB in your bank account or 2. 65k deposits per month for 12 months. Gold was not an option and won't work.

i make a profit out of my credit card as I have no fees and I pay it off all before the due date. Plus I get Qantas Frequent Flyer points and free travel insurance for up to 90 days. I will never cut this card up.

@Jeremy *******
nonsense, it's free and can be done easily by yourself. Agents are good for all your visa issues but this one isn't a visa, just a straight forward digital arrival card.

Wise to Bangkok Bank took me 24 hours. Wise to Kasikorn took less than a minute. Both work for me.

Same here, one of my accounts is 13 years old and the Bangkok bank one is 20+ years old. No issues, no messages regarding this, nothing blocked and all good.
