in a competitive environment it is not always good business practice to publish prices publicly. Price requests could be requested via DM as well.

understood, this is why I waited to the third year with a agent handled extension the second year but with all my 800k funds in the bank the entire year prior and 800k funds the entire year following the second extension. And I had opened a second bank account and banked the required 65k per month for the 12 months prior to the third extension.

Can be accomplished if the total prior history meets immigration requirements.

I apparently was also lucky. First extension was handled by and agent. But the last extension I put together the document package without agent assistance and extended with no issue.

interesting 🤔

I thought the letter I received was FET but then it is all in Thai so I did not know that for a fact.

Does the E standing for external qualify for the purposes of immigrations monthly 65k foreign transaction?

If SWIFT is to be avoided then what would be an alternative secure transfer method?

this tag is an internal transfer between Thai Banks.

If your transfer was routed through Kasikorn Bank and then to Bangkok Bank. I believe you will need the following.

I did this this week for the September transfer. For the rest of the year I will do SWIFT transfers to avoid this potential problem.

1. An FET letter from K-bank International Services. K-bank will likely ask you to bring a receipt for the deposit from Bangkok bank first.

2. Bangkok Bank will only provide the receipt from the branch where the account was opened.

At least two branches here in Bangkok told me that I needed to drive to Buriram where I opened the original account to get this receipt.

@Jackie ***********
thats is exactly the label you need

FOREIGN T/T

My problematic September deposit was labeled

DEP TRF FR E-CH

This is a local Thai bank to Thai bank transfer.

I went to the intermediate Bank - Kasikorn International Services and requested a FET form to attach to my extension package June 2026

@Tim *****
well that is not what the IO told me at Chaeng Watthana when I extended in June 2025.

She specifically said (and wrote down on a note) that next year I must bring a ‘Credit Advice Letter’ proving that I have made 12 monthly foreign transfers from my home country, minimum amount of ฿65,000 each.
