Ok you were right. I went into the personal details and updated to Thailand address. The repercussions of stating Thailand as my “Country of residence” will hopefully be minimal. Also there is a hold n the account now until they sort out my new address input. Cheers

Here is the page that needs confirmation by WISE. Note that the Country (My resident Country) is shaded and cannot be changed.

It will not, I tried, The Country…United States is shaded so it cannot be changed…

As with my Drivers license they may want an electric bill or rental agreement in your name for proof….thanks

I too have two US bank accounts, and both of them need updated addresses every year. So far they have “accepted” my mail center address but threatened to shut them down if I cannot prove my US residence.

They have tried this as well, but so far was able to avoid my banking shutdown. WTF USA!

Doesn’t work… WISE only accepts address from you passport (issued) country

I’ve been using WISE transfers monthly for the past two years during my retirement without issue, transferring money from my USA bank account to my K bank account. I tried the normal WISE transfer yesterday and there was a red notice that I had to update my information. So I went in and saw that all was ok with my information and tried to continue. Again I was denied and called the WISE people who told me that I now need a physical address in the USA and that it cannot be a “mailbox”. I asked about who was behind this regulation and they sent me an email that the “Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FCEN) was behind this new requirement. My concern as a US Citizen is the “whats next” question? Are they working on cancellation of overseas living or retirement? Will they cancel my Citizenship and therefore my Social Security because I don’t own a home in the US anymore? Quite disturbing activity by the powers involved… Any other folks out there having this problem? Cheers!

Trump mentioned that the property in Gaza is “nice beachfront” land. Trump and Netanyahu would like nothing better than to take over that land and develop it for themselves. Nothing to do with “peace” so ever (Rubio)…

Amari is best stay by far but over your budget. The Place hotel is near your price (1200) and within walking, clean, quiet. Walk across the bridge to Amari and out the back of the Amari…cross the small canal and immediately turn right then left and walk to The Place hotel. 12 minute walk. Cheers

I see this every other night in Ko Samui Green Mango now… The problem is too many testosterone filled damned guys and not enough ladies! 10 guys to 1 lady out here… Unshirted sweaty muscle bound guys drunk as a skunk wandering around like idiots!

Thailand is slowly becoming like “Western UNcivilization”. Fighting, disrespect of laws and each other… And what should we expect from generations growing up in war torn countries (And coming to Thailand) with no regard for human civility. Grow up witnessing killing, corruption, and lawlessness, and this is what we become. Thank our war machine (money making) politicians for this. Sad that the local charm of Thailand is slowly diminishing from this riff raff. Cheers
