- correct... The ME stands for Multi-Entry. Duration of the validity is 6 months - but with a series of 60 day stays can be stretched out to 8-9 months. Non Immigrant Visas provide 90 day stays. But they are for Business, Education, age 50 & up retirement, marriage, volunteering

You get 60 days stays, you have to leave every 60 days or get a 30 day Extension then leave and come back

Wrong

- Swift codes cannot always be done over the Internet.. Read the comments. And it has been posted here and on Thaivisa dot Com that even Swift transfers sometimes get coded domestic. Therefore in 12 months of 65K monthly funds transfers to Thailand as required by Thai Immigration - it only takes one domestic coding among 12 months of transfers to keep an Expat from getting a One Year Extension of Stay using monthly income. One Mistake out of 12 and in many if not most Immigration Offices - then the Expat is Denied.

I don't think such a request would work just anywhere. The main reason I tried it was because of my previous positive interactions with the Border I/Os. I have chatted with them before about my long ago experience working with the Thai Army pushing back Communist Insurgents in Sakon Nakhon Province. And I muster up my best rehearsed Thai language to tell this story. Plus I am cordial, respectful and polite every time I pass through. Also about 90% of the people who pass through are Malaysian or Thai. Farangs - while not rare are at least not too common - thus we are a break in their routine.

John Stanners - You may be correct. But this new option may involved in tagging transfers as foreign or domestic when coming into Thailand. Time will tell. It is a new option - why put it there if it has no function? It may turn out to be wishful thinking - but then again - maybe not. It has been pointed out by other posters even Swift transfers may get coded wrong

@Ron ******

- This TW Reason option is brand new and may be significant and may not

The topic is TransferWise and funds transfer encoding - not the broad subject of funds transfer to Thailand.

As Tod has suggested - we are open to discuss this new wrinkle - but please take note of the narrow aspects of the subject. We should be testing to see if this new option has positive effect on transfer notation - International or domestic. Rehashing the entire scope of TransferWise adinfitium is not helpful - in fact it is counter productive.

@Ron ******

- Ron this option comes up to users of all countries - not just the countries of the UK only
