@Greg ********

a non-o has no medical or criminal background check or insurance requirement. It can be extended for one year every year. The OA (i think) can be extended by 1yr one time, then you're done and it can't be done again inside Thailand.

@Greg ********

why would he do an OA visa?

No, just the main swift code and your account number. KASITHBK

They will see your latest tm30 as soon as they bring you up on the computer. I've never brought a tm30 receipt to anything for immigration in hua hin. I just being copy of my lease

@Paul *******

for me. I found sending in USD and letting Thai bank convert to THB got me mud-market rates (mid closing the day before).

@Jesper ******

why don't you send in your home currency?

@Jesper ******

SWIFT is flat rate so (unlike Wise) larger amounts are lower cost. My monthly transfer used to average about $26 in fees from wise (small amounts like ฿70-฿100k). Large amounts like ฿800k would be excessive. It costs me flat rate of $15 to send via SWIFT regardless of amount. Always send in USD and I usually get near mid-market rate from Thai bank.

Long term stay

thus is highly bank dependent and also depends on what currency you transfer in.

@Jesper ******

send in your home currency and let Thai bank convert. I seem to get mid-market rates doing it that way
