Does using Wise for a 65k deposit with SCB indicate a foreign transfer?

Keith *******

@Betty ********

No it's not necessary to come from a pension. Immigration just want to see that 65k has been transferred from overseas each month.

@Betty ********

It has to show as an international transfer, so it would be from an overseas bank

Can I get a retirement visa in Thailand with a monthly income of £33,000 instead of the required £65,000?

Keith *******

@Pete ******

Getting visas from agents because he can't meet the financial criteria is equally fraudulent. In for a penny in for a pound. Might as well go the whole hog

Can I apply for a Non-Immigrant B visa through a walk-in application or is it only available as an e-visa?

@Remis ********

I use CW for retirement extensions, but I make sure I have an appointment. That way in and out in an hour.

@Graham *****

With SCB using Wise it doesn't show as an international transfer. Wise use Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn to bring money in. If they transfer to another bank it becomes a domestic transfer

Actually I'm very familiar. I've actually witnessed the downside.

But Bangkok Bank are now stipulating the 800k must be in the account for four months prior to them issuing a letter. I can't see agents "loaning" 800k for four months

I use the 65k method. I mean, you need money to live on anyway, and I pay 1900 baht each year for extension, and it's totally legal. With changes in Banking (Bangkok Bank is the first, the rest will probably follow), the days of agency visas could be drawing to a close

@Andy ******

That's exactly the point John was making. You actually have a 90-day VISA, and a 12-month extension of stay. You probably paid north of 15,000 baht for this?
