thanks.😉 OP's big problem is wanting to stay 5 months every year but not over 50. SETV + 30 = 90 days. Cannot do more than that every year any longer
people keep giving this plan as a way to stay 5 months. I used to do it but have now been told to stop and get a NonO retirement visa. This plan is not possible every year any longer
If you use Wise and you click the box saying 'Funds for long term stay' as the reason, and the transfer is to your own named account it will show as a Foreign transfer. At least it does with Bangkok bank.
