I know someone cannot apply for the DTV while in Thailand. I presume that because you've replied saying George Smith you cannot apply for the DTV while in Thailand you were under the impression that is what I intended trying to do. Unlike some people on FB (Sadbook) I do have a fairly good understanding of applying for visas having applied for visas for several countries whilst I was in Thailand previously, but obviously I wouldn't be trying to apply for any Thai visa whilst in Thailand

@Todd ********

I thought the DTV is activated from the day it is approved by whichever Embassy or Consulate, whether your still in your own country, or wherever you are. So using up the sixty days is irreverent if your DTV is already running. Can you or someone enlighten me on this, so that if I apply for the DTV and my application is approved would my first 180 days start from when I receive the e-visa even if I have not entered Thailand?

So you do a bank transfer direct from Santander? All UK banks charge for doing a bank transfer, so even if the receiving bank doesn't take anything, it still defeats not losing any money apart from the exchange rate commission.

@Jim *******

I don't have a Wise bank account. I've bread too many horror stories if something goes wrong, so I just use them to transfer direct from my UK bank card to a Thai SCB account. Bank transfers at least by British banks carry a charge by the British bank.

To simplify my question. I send money via Wise app. I instruct the app. how much I want to transfer. My bank card details are already registered with Wise. So I go on the app. select how much I want to send. Select a Thai person's bank account that I want to send the money too. Enter the GBP equivalent of the THB I want to send. Then select the reason. Then next window enter my security three digits on my card. Then click conform and the transfer takes seconds or a minute or so. The receiving bank (SCB) then deducts 400 THB fee. I do not have a Wise bank account with funds and donations transaction in a one off basis. So Wise when I do a transaction converts the GBP to THB before it sends to money to a Thai bank account that is in a Thai person's name and not mine. Hope this explains my way of sending monies and going back to what I've said SCB then deducts 400 THB from the receiving account. I want to ascertain if I use exactly the same procedure to send monies to a Kasikorn account in a Thai person's name would Kasikorn deduct a charge from the receiving account. Thanks for any help ppl.

@Jim *******

If you transfer with Wise from the UK to a Thai bank account surely that isn't a domestic transfer, but an international one.

@Graham *****

thanks m8

@Graham *****

I asked this Graham because when I used Wise, the transaction says the receiver will get the baht on the transaction deal, but they also say that receiving banks may charge a fee, ie., SCB take 400 baht off the figure quoted when you initiate the transaction from your end.

Oh! I have read previously that Kasikorn do not charge an incoming transfer fee, unlike SCB.

I just made a transfer this afternoon from UK. Previously I used to select, sending money to family. That has been removed, so now I just click the last option which is Other.
