Sammy Jones The other site has 12 pages of individual anecdotes about this topic with no resolution in sight. Not to mention the many similar threads over the past 6 months. Immigration offices interpret the requirements differently and each Immigration office is supplied by a dozen different banks. If the mods did weigh in they would say you have to visit your Immigration office and your bank.

The notice says they are adding a $3.20 fee so I assume that is on top of whatever Transferwise is already charging.

You can see how lightly moderated forums discuss this issue on other sites. It’s not pretty.

Ivan McAvinchey That is what Kasikorn told me and what I said above. As I said, it doesn’t matter to me. When the new Immigration rules were announced last fall I asked Kasikorn about this to do some advanced research just in case. I was surprised by this though when I looked at my bank statement. Thought others should know that a wire transfer doesn’t automatically show up as a foreign transfer.

And Transferwise is the most confusing of topics

@Kun *******

My wire transfers from Bank of America to Kasikorn always show up as domestic transfers. They are being routed to Kasikorn through another bank. I’m using the 800,000 banked money method though so it doesn’t matter to me. I asked Kasikorn about it and they said they could produce a report showing the foreign origin for a fee and it would take a week or two.

It’s pretty clear what Immigration will accept. Money from a foreign source verified by your bank. Everything else is a banking discussion. There needs to be a Thai banking Facebook group.

TM30 discussions will get cut off quickly too.

Benjamin Hays That is between him and his landlord. I offered to pay but my landlord went to CW and paid herself. She apply for the online registration but it was still pending after several weeks.

Are you staying at a condo, house, hotel? You can self file a TM30 in Bangkok if you bring your rental contract. The late fine at CW is 800 baht. If you are planning to go CW this late in the day you will probably be there for a while.
