Don't think anyone has been notified as such it was just something generally released by Wise and then quickly withdrawn.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks good to know.Did it have your name on it?It appears no Thai debit cards have..I have 4 kbank scb bbl and krungthai and none of them have my name on them.

Thanks did she complete the payment form in the UK and send it to you in Thailand by email?

Thanks my card does say 'privileged member'.Back to the drawing board. P.S. When I registered with kbank "verified by visa" service I was informed I could shop online immediately using my debit card.

Now I am confused.Do I not have to fill in a payment form to hand into vfs as part of my application like I did last time?

According to my research you have to use the required payment form for a credit/debit card at vfs.I was just wondering if there were problems using a kbank debit card.

Has anyone used ther kbank debit card when paying for their uk passport renewal thru vfs Bangkok recently and if so did they encounter any problems? I would like to use this method and in preparation have enabled online transactions via the app and registered for the "verified by visa" service. It would appear from my research this should be easily possible but would be interested to know the experiences of other posters especially if I have missed anything.Thanks.

I currently have both my company and UK state pensions paid directly into Wise.My plan for what it is worth is to wait until April when we should find out what verification docs. are required by Wise.We can only guess what these might be for now,Should this process prove to be too problematic then I have already asked for and received from my UK company pension provider a Thai bank mandate form to have it paid into my Thai bank account.Then I would need to phone the International Pension Centre in the UK to have my state pension also paid directly into my Thai bank.

Or perhaps you got hold of the wrong end of the stick?I suggest reading the entire thread to get the context of my post.

https://neobanque.ch/blog/wise-bank-of-thailand-regulated-money-transfer-app/ This lists the points on the withdrawn "upcoming changes to wise in Thailand" page. Just realised not opening..should be ok if you type it out..

I received the same sms about 2 weeks ago.Showed them my passport and bankbook and answered some questions re my phone number address and marital status and they took a photo.

Not at all I can't imagine where you got such a bizarre idea from.If you look back you will see I was talking about updating my Thai address.

Maybe there has been a negative reaction from customers on their contact page.
