I misunderstood your original response. So if I obtain my non-O 90 day visa in the Thai embassy in DC, I’ll need the 800k in my Thai account to apply for the extension. And it needs to be there

2 months prior to renewal.

That’s interesting. So essentially, one could spend 15 months in Thailand without even opening a Thai bank account? Do you happen to know if Chaeng Wattana requires proof of transfer?

Thx for the info. How were you able to satisfy requirement #9?

Rental agreement is easy but rental receipt for past 3 months? I assume you were on a 30 day visa exempt.

@Brandon ***********

Thanks again,

you’re always helpful. I like that Wise offer a great exchange rate and lists all fees. I’ll have to check with my local bank and get more information. I know they also charge a fixed fee on this end.

that’s true, definitely an important factor as well. In your experience is it preferable compared to multiple Wise transfers?
