If the payment is not done via the Wise account it will never be shown as an international payment. Funds must first be deposited into a Wise account before any onward transmission otherwise any other transaction is just a currency transfer.

To have a wise transfer shown as an international payment there is a process to follow:

1. Your domestic bank to your Wise account (this will be the account that uses your domestic currency such as GBP/Euro/USD).

2. Wise account to Thailand account.

3. During this process you need to select the appropriate transaction options from the drop down menu (i.e. purchase property) and write an appropriate reference in the free text box (property details/visa details and so on).

Any other method using Wise is akin to a simple currency exchange process and cannot be shown as international as the precise routing isn't defined although you will be able to see which Thai bank converted the funds to Thai baht.

I miss read your post, yes convert the visa exempt to a 90 day Non-O. Hope I don't confuse you (or me). I have read that once you have the Non-O issued for the purposes of seeking a retirement visa/marriage immigration can lrovide you with a document specifically for the banks indicating that you require the account for residential purposes thus enabling you to open an account (have a look at previous posts in relation to Bangkok Bank issues - i think the guy who rums this site provided that info)

I may be wrong here but I was under the impression you needed to enter on a Non-O visa (applied for outside of Thailand). I doubt any bank will now open an account when you're on a tourist visa. The Non-O visa then allows time to open an account and allow for the funds to be in your account for the required time period.

Well it's not false as it's potentially true, as I say it depends on circumstances with tax paid at the income source and the income won't be generated within Thailand.

People on a DTV do not generate income from Thailand/Thai busnisses. Any income made by a person on a DTV comes from overseas streams. Is it subject to tax regulations within Thailand, well that depends on a number of circumstances, firstly the person needs to be resident in Thailand for 180 days or more, the DTV currently permits the visa holder to remain in the country for up to 180 days. You post is difficult to understand, the DTV visa is a longer term version of a tourist visa and does not permit the holder to a work permit and potentially cannot be issued a tax number or be liable for tax in Thailand but of course certain circumstances will dictate that.

I've had them, most applies to the US however there is one of the forms that applies to the rest of the world.

No

To the best of my knowledge, the 800K has to be in an account that allows instant access which I assume would discount any high yield accounts.

@Gary ******

Unfortunately that is not a recognised exemption.
