you're applying in UK. Not Thailand. Look on the embassy website for the info on applying in UK.

Why are Wise transfers to Bangkok Bank showing as 'DEP TRF FR E-CH' instead of 'FTT'?

If I was needing proof and wise don't show it then for me a one off, large swift transfer would be ok.

rain doesn't bother me though. I'm not lying in the sun or swimming in the sea. So when it rains we sit under shelter, then eat and drink.

lol. I went with my daughter in law last year and opened the account. She handled much of the new account procedure. I'd say her "style" was more scary than diplomatic. Lol. She wasn't impressed with the ticket system used to be seen by bank staff.

Its ok, I'm not on the retirement visa or needing an extension so it won't really matter too much. I updated my bank book in June and if I'm back and going retirement route, I'd perhaps use scb.

I've got a Bangkok bank account with a bank book. So think IF I used it to deposit a large amount for retirement extension I'd use swift transfer. I've no idea if there's an issue with my account because I'm back in UK, I don't use the app, and won't know till I get back after Xmas.

I understand that wise accept your money into their own system then transfer the equivalent amount from a banking system in Thailand. Perhaps as it's not a direct transfer like swift, the Bangkok Bank can't now identify it as an overseas transfer.

How soon should I apply for my marriage visa before arriving in Thailand?

Lynnette *******

What do you mean "fill out your marriage visa"? Do you mean when should you apply through an embassy for the Non-O based on marriage? Once it's issued it's valid for 90 days for you to enter. They will then stamp you in.
