The "smart" transfer system is a Thai domestic system, regardless of how it's sent if it goes through this system onward to another bank it will be as domestic payment. Not all transferwise payments go this route some go direct, and in this case they are seen as international transfers in the receiving bank. What makes you think the system has been changed?

Unless you have residence permit for Thailand or Thai passport you are an alien or visitor, and need a visa.

wow I stand corrected, I've never heard of anyone trying to use this app, and I'm the current process is that you hand in the Tm6 to immigration when you enter the country, maybe that changed 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 who knows?

@Mervyn *******

tm6 is only done when you arrive in Thai immigration, it’s an arrivals card

@Martin **********

ok understood, I think the point is what evidence the immigration office will what to see when you submit your extension in my case they told me a bank statement.

@Martin **********

BTW there is nothing to say its a International transfer and its in THB

@Martin **********

Yes but that where its a International transfer, the point here is that they are not.

@David ******

Clearly you don’t have any experience with Prachinburi and your personal feelings don’t amount to bugger all, if they are deciding your visa extension you have to play by their rules. I'm not sure you understand what the rules are good luck with subbmitting emails with your extension.

@Ian ********

My local immigration office (Prachinburi) have told me they want a 12 month bank statemnt produced by the bank with rubber stamp showing 12 international payments.

@Nick *****

I've been through this process the only issue (other than the extra paperwork) is that the imm office was not keen to do it (try to put us off) but it was ok in the end.
