I Know Almost Everything exactly, only a matter of time before these visas get binned due to abuse, much like the old Education visas - will end up spoiling it for the folks who are genuine.

yip, just like to folks who enrolled in language schools to learn Thai and come to Thailand on an education visa……many rarely turned up for classes…..don’t be so naive not sure why so many young men are anxious to spend extended period in Thailand, oh, there’s me being naive 🧐

Been using them for 5 years into SCB, never an issue, rarely takes more than mins, and shows as international transfer for visa renewal purposes.

Many a true word spoken in jest, trouble is it makes life harder for those of us who don’t want to contribute to the above mentioned charities and want to abide by local rules. Hence the long queues at immig and Land Transport office for visa renewals and licenses I hope I live to see the day when this BS is cleaned up in Thailand……I suspect I might see pigs first 🫤

Avoid Bangkok Bank at the moment we use SCB very helpful and good online app and if you keep funds here for visa they pay interest (although it’s low at the moment )

There is a box you need to tick under reason for transfer - long term stay in Thailand was included for precisely the reason you mention - if you fail to do it then yes it will show as a local transfer.
