@Sally ******
No, that is not an embassy.

An embassy is the representation of a country in a foreign state. Thus it’s factual impossible to have a UK embassy in UK.

I was focused on her question. Reread it and see the same question about using an atm to take a large amount.

I am not surprised about “I have to pay a large amount for my visa”. It’s the way people write. “I paid 400,000 bath for my visa”. Likewise people write “I have a marriage visa” or a “retirement visa” while such a visa doesn’t exist.

Meanwhile the question is about getting large sums of money using a foreign card and being limited when using an atm.

I have an account at Kasikorn so they know me. But I used the Wise card to take cash.

@Thaimer *****
You can use a bank and still have the conversion done by your card provider. I do it regularly and recently took thb 650k using a wise credit card.

I hate it more when people ask about using an atm and then are referred to visa agents… 🙄

But of course you are right that the maximum answering time must be within 15 seconds after posting and it’s forbidden to…. have a life, or something? 🤣

Same for Netherlands using Ideal (our name for ACH).

I do the same. When I let Wise take it from my bank there’s an Ideal fee. When I initiate out of my bank to the Wise account it’s free and it’s an instant transfer, provided I stay below €5000.
