Sounds ridiculous when they can see the passport in front of them. I would try different branches and failing that use an agent. Normally they require a residence certificate

@Graham *****
yeah others don't

show "International" on the statement, maybe read up on the subject before you post

@Graham *****
not quite, he needs the Wise transfer to show as International, Bangkok Bank is the only one that shows it hence the reason for transfer

@Graham *****
no one's asking about 50k limit, you're answering a different question

@Hathaway ************
ok, if you use Wise and need transfers to show as International then you'll need Bangkok Bank

For Santander get a UK sim from giffgaff, they send to Thailand, top up £10 and sms or call every 6 months

firstly is your bank Bangkok Bank? there is a slight risk, I've read 3 reports that sometimes even though you select the correct reason for transfer it settles as a domestic transfer which is a problem for the 65k a month and 800k for non imm O visa
Peter *******
Wise ok for those as long as you and Wise process correctly, send a small test amount first to ensure its "international"

yes but what does it say about how long you need to be in Germany? if it was that easy every expat would buy travel insurance
