I hear ya any more questions pm me think that's enuf banking talk for me on a public discussion board :) also make sure u xfr in usd

@Michael *****

No I always call honestly. Set it up once years ago and now I refer to my template when I call and have a saved template for Thailand makes it much easier. I get our time difference sucks but I always call 1 min after they open. Everytime 15 mins or less and off the phone. Xfrs r quick!!! 1 go 2 business days max even though they say 3 to 5. Should test a small to descent amount and test the difference with wise and USAA xfr. Thailand side no xtra fees etc .. now if u r only xfring like $500 or less idk maybe wise could better and I recommend it to most but with USAA to my Thai bank account I always get a better for rate and done this loads of times. Good luck just trying to help.

Since u r American I use USAA fyi

I understand Wise is hands down the best rate that beingsaid I have a military bank in the US that I get a better exchange rate and pay just the $45 international fee. Lived in Thailand 7 years and always compare. My bank can't b the only one that can get more $ than wise. FYI I usually xfr $10k to 30k usd at a time ....

It is at the beginning Jennifer and albeit I don't know ur current situation I believe Turkey makes is 99% easier than any other country. I'm from USA and the now Wifey Thai of course. I just needed to go to my US Embassy get my Single Affidavit and drivers license notarized (I know drivers license is a bit weird but because Thai has a Tabian Baan they wanted it) Then went to Ministry of Foreign of Affairs. Wife got her single to marry paper from Thailand mailed here. After that we set an appointment to get married at the Thai Embassy in Ankara, Turkey. Eventually I believe you WILL have to go to Ankara but like I said not sure of ur circumstance. After we were married NOTHING is done online. Day after married dropped $80 (has to be USD) and the required paperwork. Filled out their 1 page paper for the COE, SAME DAY received visa, next day received COE. For your F2F AND COVID test they are both very cheap and can be done via Istanbul Airport. Took me ONLY 3 hours to do both! Paid $27 for COVID test and about $60 for my F2F. Flew out 2 days later, no problem! Hope this eases your worries a bit but you can do this. In reality I got married, receive my visa, AND COE in 3 days! So you will be good. Like I said I helped 3-4 other couples too. Don't worry we are FREE for advice haha just believe in paying it forward since I received a lot of help along the way. Have a good day.
