only problem with doing this with an agent is its illegal and if you were to be unfortunate to be on the other side of the police and they looked at your file or your agent was investigated you could have it revoked and given a ban from Thailand. My motto.

If you can’t do it then you can’t afford to live in Thailand

they have arrangements with banks to show the money in their accounts. Also give a qualifying letter to say it’s from overseas. The same hr the money goes back. I saw an agent facilitate this in Bangkok bank last month

but her money needs to come in from a foreign country to qualify for a visa. Reading between the lines.

look at her message she wants to bring cash over in person so you are on the wrong track mate

ok agents open a bank account and she leaves his money in his country ( as the post is about bringing cash over) she then make a transfer to the open bank account using wise as the engine to put it into her account. Is that simple enough?

wise is the app that sends the money to your Bank in Thailand and I send money monthly to my Bangkok bank to qualify for my income. FYI

The reason they ask for deposits from abroad is so they can make sure you’re bringing money in from a foreign country and not owning a bar and putting money in from Thailand. They want you to bring money into Thailand to spend here. Wise is a great way of bringing it in and great rates.
