I used the Bangkok bank statements ordered from my banking app which I printed out. Immigration was fine with them not stamped or anything.

@Alan ******

that is correct, I did it in February. The only complication was that even though my Thai bank book and statements showed 12 international transfers the IO wanted proof of where they had come from. I had to provide my UK bank statements and they spent a long time checking money out matched money in. They did not ask for Wise transfer documents but I had them available in case.

@Nongnuch *******

will om not going to argue with an IO even if I know I'm right.

Check with your office as mine (Nakhon Phanom) required the money in my account 3 months prior to application. I was short by 3 days and was turned down. Luckily I had enough time to go and apply again the following week. Always apply as soon as you can in case there is an issue that needs correction.

it has always been necessary to visit several branches before successfully getting a bank account but with a 90 day non O visa it is more likely you will get one eventually. Thise on tourist visas or visa exempt are no longer able to get an account.

I use Wise to make monthly payments for Visa purposes. I use Bangkok Bank and funds for long term stay in Thailand as reason for transfer. I also asked Wise to Tag My Account. The transfers always show as international and have done for 16 months. It us also a lot cheaper for me than SWIFT transfers.

@Bob *********

the non O gives you 90 days thus allowing 30 days to open a bank account and deposit the 0 baht for two months or more before applying for a 12 month extension. That is how people are doing it now. Not even agents can open a bank account for someone on visa exempt or tourist visa including DTV. The problem the OP has is that he is already in Thailand and for the above to work he should have applied for the non O before entering.

You will not get through immigration until you have done it. Sooner the better if you ask me.

@Mark ******

do a direct transfer from your banking app. Check fees as they are not all the same. BB is quite cheap.

I was talking about Krungsri and Krungthai. Wise have a connection with three Thailand banks BB, Kasikorn and one other I believe it is SCB.
