yes, but in the WISE case it just started being a problem Sep 2025.

I Went through the confirmation process you suggest this week to secure documentation for my SEP 2025 international transfer.

@Graham *****

you need your transfer to be labeled as arriving from a foreign source. So far that has worked correctly for me when transferring WISE to Kashikorn

@Phil *****

the only WISE to Bangkok Bank transfer I received in under a minute in the last 2 years was last months which was rerouted 1st through Kasikorn Bank.

Then not labeled as a foreign transfer at Bangkok Bank

@Naja **********

transferred WISE to Krungsri last month SEP with no issue. The transfer completed in seconds

@Andreas ********

still does no get tagged correctly as a ‘Foreign Transfer’ if thats is important

@Daniel *****

just my personal opinion but any foreigner who bring any significant assets to a Thai bank is foolish. Therefore I don’t think this happens in reality

True, foreigners are low value customers. We cannot participate in many profitable banking services.

And we are a thorn to customer service desks due to our need for english speaking reps. Then we accentuate the problem by approaching problems with a rude, entitled approach. I just witnessed an example today as a foreigner complained loudly that nobody could speak English to help him.

They get to use our deposits to make loans to Thai nationals but the value is still not that significant.

I brought my US social security benefits document. But they never asked for it. As you said they might be looking at your age and questioning the source of income.

I used Bangkok Bank for my Thai Immigration financial documentation purposes and it has worked OK for the past 2 extensions.
