I found that if I send my native currency and let Thai bank convert that I got a much better rate (and better than wise).

Depends on the amount your sending. Break even point with my credit union is about ฿150k. Below that wise is cheaper. But you'll have to do your own calcs. Good luck getting your bank to quote you a rate. Probably just ask what it was the day before.

Thought.you were taking about Thai bank, hence my confusion. Of course you can use Canadian funds for evisa ...

@Daniel *********
don't understand how that saves any steps. Can you explain?

@Daniel *********
curious, how does that matter things easier? Do you have a multi-currency account?

Rent don't buy. Come on 60 day exempt to look around. If you're moving within a few months, best to sign your lease during low season. Then rerun home and apply for a non-o visa from your home country.

Put ฿800k in a Thai bank account in your name only. Go visit immigration and ask for their checklist. Follow the instructions.
