Jenny Cha They have a very easy banking phone app. No problems moving money from Wise to SCB. Arrives in seconds. When l sent it to Bangkok bank from Wise, it comes in later in the day, or the next day.

John Nielson Just went 2 days ago to the Bangkok bank to get the statement showing only the 12 x 65 k coming in every month as an FTT that immigration requires. They informed me that Bangkok bank no longer issues that statement anymore. My understanding is that SCB bank does. So moved all my funds over today to SCB and will closing my Bangkok bank. They also froze my account last year.

What l used last year in Krabi was all bank transactions for 12 months and high-lighted the international incoming deposits. They were happy with that method. I didn't know of other methods. I told them at the bank that l needed bank statements for 12 months for immigration, and this is what they handed me. Worked well last year.

I used an agent to seed the money when l first came to Pattaya 2 years ago. As soon as they got me a bank account, l started bringing in 65k per month. After my 15 months was done, l renewed my 1 year in Krabi using the 65k method with no issue. I'm back in Pattaya again and will do my 2nd renewal with the 65k next month. I shouldn't have any issues doing this method here.
