I've been using wise for several years now. Only in the beginning did I have an issue with the FT. Apparently, if you contact them,,they " flag" your transaction and it seems to work. Every transaction I do now comes with the FT. Unfortunately, if I ever need money quickly, it don't happen, it's always the same slowish route, which is usually ar18 hours ish

and always check it's a foreign transfer on you Bangkok bank app, it can be a bit of an issue if it don't. You can always ask wise to make sure they do that foreign transfer for yer

wow, I didn't realise you had to have an onward flight with a Non o, thanks for that info. I heard it's getting difficult to open a bank account, although I have 2 or more friends in our area that got their Non o here with new bank accounts. All new to me, I wasn't Aware that you could officially get a Non o here until late last year. Previously, as far as I remember, you had to leave the country . Cheers Stuart

what if someone in the airport is waiting for yer who has 20k or more on them, is that good enough or, do they have to have it in person.

I know it's not a lot of money, but , if your a robber it is , and , also a woman travelling on her own could become a potential target.

Seems strange when they want us all to go digital/wallet kind of thing.

I have a friend travelling over soon and I'm meeting her in Bkk airport. She will send her money over to me and I will be at the airport waiting for her.
