Why not try wise.com to transfer funds to Thailand. They probably give one of the best exchange rates for transfers. Even better than sending sending USD to a bank in Thailand. And letting them convert to THB. 

We'd have to do multiple transfers plus fees are a little wicked for this much $.  The screenshot is maximum amount.  Although, TBF, I have not seen the bank rates.

No issue whatsoever transferring the money into Thailand, entirely different story when you want to tranferr back out.

 

US bank rates are currently higher than in Thailand.  Why on earth don't you just leave the money in US CDs or T-bills?

Would if we could.

Then you are good to go!

 

Just make sure you remit USD and let the receiving bank in Thailand make the currency exchange. 

 

Perhaps a good idea if your wife has a copy of the marriage certificate so the bank can make the connection between the old and new names.

 

AND, I guess you will get a marriage visa? If that's the case, YOU need 400K in a Thai bank account, in your own name, NOT in a joint account (unless you're going to use the income method).

Yes I am here on marriage visa for the past 10+ years so all is good there.  ???? She is handling the entire transfer herself.

No problem for the transfer, straight forward swift, I have never (ever) been asked here to qualify money origin.

That's great thanks.  She IS worried that some kind of US tax thing may kick in.  I am retired and wife works here in TH only.

Neither have I, in the past. But new Money Laundering laws have come into effect and AMLO is getting tighter on these things so it may well be that the OP is asked about the source of funds. As long as there is a paper trail showing where the funds did originate and it can be proven, if asked, all will be well. 

Yes my wife has the bill of sale and all other paperwork to show.

We sold our building in the US and now want to transfer the money here to Thailand. Wife is Thai w/dual US citizenship. 
We’re planning on doing the transfer to a new Kbank account via swift. Wife’s last name on deed is my (U.S. citizen) last name while all other accounts she has are under her maiden name. We’re not sure which passport the bank will ask for.
Any thoughts?
Any “gotchas” that we should look out for like taxes, whack fees, etc?

Thanks!

Thank you.  I'll stick with my 1,800 baht Extension of Stay.

Exactly.
10yrs = 18000 vs 50000

????‍♂️ sigh

"Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected.

Visa validity date is missing."

Resubmitted on Nov. 29 4:30PM  Still pending. 

Given this date shown, do I have up to 7 days after Dec. 3 to get into CW or wherever?  Or do I need to be there on the 3rd by the latest?  Also I just realized that Dec. 3 is a Saturday.

Where are they are doing 90 days now?

OK let's try that.  I've always filled out everything but today is a different day of course.  Thank you sir, will update.

Received an approval a few minutes ago for a report due on the 26th (Bangkok). Originally submitted on the 14th but remained pending and resubmitted on the 21st.  Fortunately I didn't go in person today but was planning to do that tomorrow. At least it shows they will go with the date submitted even if dealt with past the due date, as they should. Happy days! 

There's hope for me too then!  ????

Also only completed the required entries marked with a red asterick. 

Just double checking about this. 

That'd mean leaving out my 1st and middle name, building owner name, and phone number.  I usually leave the "Use Login Information" unchecked.  Screenshot attached of the form page.

OK will do Joe.  Attached is the rejected application (Nov 2022) and accepted from June that they emailed back to me upon accepting the forms.  I can't see any difference.  They do tend to abbreviate these copies leaving out a lot of stuff they require. 

I'll go and retry today.

Oh goody. 

"Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected.

Please check your visa not same in the system"

I got a new passport late last year.   Had to go to CW or wherever it was to get my 1st 90 on that passport and have gotten 90 days done since then online.  I guess I need to go over this with a fine tooth comb to figure out what I may have mistyped IF ANYTHING. 

PP # IS correct. 

My last Ext. of Stay was completed early Jan 2022 so everything is transfered.

I've done 90 days online since getting the new extension.

90 day is due Dec. 3.

Why it says, and what exactly "Please check your visa not same in the system"  means is beyond me.

Ext. of Stay is up for renewal Jan 2023

Would be grateful for any help I can get here.

Call these gals. Never used them since I’m in BKK but seen them on FB. 1200 Pattaya to swampy.

You could submit another 90 day report on or before December 5th. 

Thanks @ubonjoe  I wrote this late last night and don’t have the link in my phone to check the exact date, it may be Dec 3, but if no word from them soonish I’ll cancel the one in the queue “pending” and resubmit it. 
BTW, you’ve been helping me here in instances like this for over 10yrs!

I’ll be keeping an eye on it ????
