yes that would be a pain. They are just being awkward, they can provide the papers easily for you, as I said when I moved from Hua Hin to Sriracha I asked them to transfer my account and they said they couldn't, so I asked them for the documents for immigration and they gave me them immediately, so it's definitely possible, but TiT.
makes sense Graham. I presumed it would revert at some point, I just hadn't seen any comments stating it had happened. Is the wording 'funds for long term stay in Thailand' or similar?
Most people seem to use Wise to transfer the funds using the code for purchasing a property. It then shows as an international transfer (unless this has changed again).
I presume you have a 12 month extension of stay, is that correct?
If you got a re-entry permit before you left Thailand, when you come back and extend your extension of stay for another12 months, you will be able to get another re-entry permit at the same time and leave Thailand again.
