@Danny ******
I wonder if it is the $ amount. If I do $1,000 it takes seconds. Larger amounts (only up to 2k) take 1 day for me to Bangkok Bank.

I can answer part of the question.

I stayed at a hotel in pattaya and they claimed they could not give me a TM30. They gave me a letter which I took to immigration. Immigration checked on their computer that the hotel had registered me and they gave me a piece of paper for my passport to show I was registered.

An onward ticket may be required by your departure airline. I know Delta/Korean requires one. As for the TM 30 as others have said, by Thai law your wife is supposed to submit one when you go to her house.

Washington DC Thai Embassy. Did my 60 day visa thru them.

I have been told that we cannot use tricare to meet the OA visa requirement. So I opted for an O visa. I can still use Tricare. A few hospitals accept it but generally you pay out of pocket and submit for reimbursement.

While Wise fees seem high, also look at the exchange rate they offer. I compared Wise to Western Union (95 cent fee) and WIse has beat out banks & WU every time.

@Phil *******
