Why does sending money to Thailand for a long-term stay take longer with Wise?

Fred *********

I'll not be doing that here, I'll wait till I go over.

Seems to be easier I think.

Anyway. Off to sleep. Late here.

Cheers

It only happens if I say it's for long term stay.

If I say it's for expenses it goes straight through.

But I think now I know why. Brandon has explained

I was just curious, not something I'll be losing sleep over.

But I did just find out I need it to show as an international transfer for my visa.

20 minutes ago I had no idea about that.

I only send money that's actually in my wise account. And has been for days or weeks. Always takes a day or 2 to go through to my Thai bank account

@Brandon ***********

I'm sending for when I move over. In about a year, roughly.

I'll be using the visa that needs the 800,000 baht in bank.

So I need to make sure I keep sending this way, as it shows up as international transfer.

Wonder why that matters, but if important then that's the way I'll keep sending

In the long term I'm guessing it doesn't make any difference what reason I say I'm sending cash.

I'm only sending for when I move over and it doesn't really matter how long it takes to get there.

But dies the reason make any difference in the long run

What are the best health insurance options for long-term expats in Thailand?

Fred *********

The brokers may well be honest. But when you have some shyster in an office somewhere deciding your claim is invalid.

That's always the issue.

Who would tell them. They would have no idea.

They would never know.

@Oussama ******

You think i expect her to mourn me the rest of her life.

I would hope she goes and does whatever to be happy.

The money would be no good for me.
