Thanks, that is good to know. Will try that before going to the bank in person if I have to.

It's TD Ameritrade. If you go to their US web site they just direct you to Singapore if you live in Thailand. I am just playing along as I want to try them out - not sent any funds yet. They have given me a leverage account and a good looking software platform. Currently do all my trading with a US broker (E*Trade) that allows free ACH wire transfers in and out, but has other limitations for me as a foreigner also.

Yes, I will ask if that's what is required before sending. The bizarre thing is my funds are already in the USA, the Singapore brokers receiving account is another bank in the USA used as a clearing account they forward onto Singapore. So I would have to send my funds from USA to Thailand then back to USA!

Thanks. This is not to do with sales of properties in Thailand. My money is already outside Thailand, but the brokerage in Singapore will only accept funding from within Thailand, not outside, so I was thinking to wire the money here then out the next day.

Thanks guys, I will have to go to bank and see. Appreciate the heads up.

Isn't Deemoney like Transferwise but for outbound sending money? The brokerage doesn't accept these systems, only from personal bank accounts (I have Kasikorn) using paid for international wires and Swift code. A money laundering security check I expect. My question was more related to can this even be done without a work permit??

Can international wires from Thailand banks be done without a work permit? I could wire the funds into Thailand then out again, but I don't think Thailand allows this do they? I am retired so not earning money here. My KBank online web site requires work permits to link international accounts. Can international wires be done in person at my bank without a work permit? Just asking now as I have never tried. My online brokerage in Singapore insists on funds coming only from a bank account in my name in country of my address, Thailand, reason for the question.
