At suvarnabhumi there is an office before the immigration exit stamp, but there is a set of desks without it. Just ask, before they stamp your passport.

thanks.

i add my hearsay... i think if your account is bangkok bank it would be marked as international, whereas some other banks would go through bkk bank. Not sure though.

Just added a question at the end of my comment

@Ellie ******

yes, sure I will do before sending the money. It's a small IO so they will remember me, and I am tempted to go and ask earlier but am worried about getting answers I don't like or temp them to ask bribes. I think I will go and be open to them, and see what they say.

Joint bank account would be good, and using just the TM30 without housebook would also be good.

Regarding the TM30, is the housebook required for that? If it is I may get a copy when that gets done...

@John *********

will find out when she comes... TM30 first, then open bank account, then send the money, then go to IO and find out what they require.

Thanks a lot.

@John *********

you mean? No housebook?

@John *********

yes, got that.

@John *********

we are getting the TM30 ok, the lease is on my name and for the house book we need to ask the landlord, which may prove to be difficult.

@John *********

i am on retirement visa. I will see if I can turn my account into a joint account, otherwise I can send 800k to her account when she has one. I am less worried about that then I am about the landlord papers: house book and rental agreement (rental is in my name), as those may be more difficult to source.
