what?! do u know that u could easily skip all this if u paid an agent? 1k baht (or whatever it is) is definitely more worth than wasting several hours sitting in a chicken box…..
true, and that’s the reason why i opened wise some time ago… revolut had the same small fees in the past, then they added a 1% and fortunately they removed it lately
with revolut you have a monthly free of charge payment... i did quite many times to my thai bank account and i always paid only SCB fees... but ok, lately i'm using cryptos to transfer money (usdt or LTC from any exchange to bitkub and then to my bank here): cheaper and definitely faster
it took about 2 weeks for us (through swiss embassy), but we got the visa just 3 days after having completed the documentation (they wanted my thai accounts as a proof instead of my Swiss ones…)
i always fly with 2 laptops (sometimes 3…), one tablet and 3 iphones… never been asked… but i’d be concerned if it happened coz it’s actually not their business………
