It can be for some, but often needs extra work from you to get the confirmation from the bank that it’s been an international transfer.

Swift is easier as it’s automatically coded as an overseas transfer - but usually not as good a rate as Wise.

It is if they want to switch to the income method over banked money. (After the 1st year extension)

The funds need to be seasoned for 2 calendar months not 60 days.

You can apply up to 45 days prior in some offices but as you know the funds wouldn’t have seasoned for long enough. Fortunately you can apply right up until the last day of your stamp (but this is absolutely not recommended).

Apply a week or so ahead and you should be fine.

Neither do walk-ins as all embassies and consulates use the online evisa system these days.

Malaysia is probably high up on the worst list to apply from judging from comments on here.

The character recognition part of scanning your passport is known to be very sketchy. Double check or triple check everything or just enter it manually.

Yes. You apply and they will send the RC to your address registered on the TM30 within one week. 200 baht.

Only fill in the boxes with a red asterisk. The others aren’t required.

Bangkok used to have that rule a while back but changed. Now anyone can get a RC on any visa type.

Not many posts on here from people trying to use Nonthaburi so can’t confirm if they will allow or won’t. For many years i thought it was only Bangkok that had that stipulation.

As
@Bra****
stated you could get an RC from a nearby immigration office. You’d need a valid TM30 to do so for that province but stay a night in a hotel and get it from them.
