This is on the UK Gov't website today. I got mine last year within 2 weeks. Guess it just depends on their workload at the time?

This is where the VFS office is in Bangkok:

Can someone living in Canada looking to get a retirement visa and deposit Bt800k in a Thai back easily open a Singaporean bank account then?

And the exchange rate? My bank don't charge a fee at all, but their rate is nowhere near as good as Wise which arrives usually in seconds.

@Jo *********

Financially savvy people use Wise. But if you prefer to wait longer and receive less money, banks are a good option.

Why can't you transfer in one go with Wise? I thought Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn you can transfer up to Bt3m and SCB 1,499,000? UK banks limit the transfer size with larger sums being transferable from laptop/PC bank access and smaller amounts via phone apps as far as I know.

Wise is very easy, arguably easier than banks. Wise are generally quicker, offer better rates and can also be flagged as international transfers so long as you select the relevant reason for transfer?
