- I underestimated nothing with regards to those numbers. At the time of my post the KrungSri tt rate was 32.84 and the wise rate was 32.88 as I indicated. A day later the bank rate started dropping, unknown why. That's why I suddenly started getting interested in Wise because it then became a better deal. But the wise transfer is no deal if it can't be shown as an international transfer at KrungSri. Now I am told here that in order to get my non-o visa for retirement purposes from our 30 day visa exempt extension it has to be shown as an international transfer. So given that all that information was supplied, people should be told that when asking about what bank to go to, to get an account in Thailand. Specifically that wise will only show that with Bangkok bank. I don't even know where that information comes from regarding the requirement of where the money comes from.

- I don't care about red flags. I have no problem reporting my foreign account. I will not own any additional tax.

@Sid ******

- and

@Gar****

said use a different code. And others said it doesn't work except for bkk bank. I don't know what to think.

@Garrett **********

- it would seem that others think differently. You said put in a code, someone else said put in a different code. I would not at this time know how I might specify where the money needs to come from. You also wrote you need to look a bit.

@Garrett **********

- will that work for a KrungSri account? We went to the bank you recommended. If it doesn't, you might want to specify that in your recommendation.

Grrr, we got this bank account because it was recommended as an easy one to open. It was. We do not have time to open another account now. We may not have time to wire money.

@George ************

- the article you provided specifies 21 days. I've been told 15 days, I hope that's right for Bangkok.

@Neil *********

- let's hope that never takes off.

@Frank-Steven **********

- and where does the options you show for swift get chosen, and by whom?

@George ************

- if the Thai baht is already in Thailand, does it still show as an overseas transfer? That seems to be important for the non-o visa.
