Hi Moto45, I am going through something similar but I am currently in Thailand. My agency advised that I require to courier the original birth certificate to them and they will attest it at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Then they can get it stamped at my Embassy and courier it back to me (but I may go down to BKK to visit my embassy in person). In your case I find it strange that you require to send your birth certificate to BKK because I am assuming it was already attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and you stamped it your Embassy before you traveled to the UK. Therefore I would have thought you could get it stamped at the UAE embassy in London? You may wish to phone or visit the UAE embassy in UK to reconfirm this. Hope this helps

Im wondering if sanctioned stocks can be transferred to a broker in Thailand? If so could anyone recommend a Thai broker?

Thank you

Hi Chivas, I would like to transfer THB 200,000 Yes you are right, I will also be charged 300-500 Baht landing fees

Thank you!

Hello Everyone, 🙂 When transferring funds to Thailand and selecting the "OUR" option, I encounter these charges: My bank transfer fees: USD 12 Correspondent Bank charges: USD31 TOTAL cost to transfer funds to Thailand: USD43 Is it correct to assume that there is a markup fee on Correspondent bank charges? If so, would it be more cost-effective for me to choose either the "Shared" or "Ben" option instead of "OUR"? Or it does not really make any difference at all? Please note that I do not have access to Wise or Revolut. Thank you for your help!

Thank you Bill97 Do you get a better rate using an International Account or Regular Account

Thank you Prunbangboy 🙂 So it seems FX rates will be the same weather I use ATM, Bank Teller or Wire Transfer

Hello Everyone, Im a newbie here 🙂 I'm seeking advice on the most favorable FX rate for transferring funds to Thailand for a home construction project. Option 1) Withdrawing cash from an ATM using my Schwab Debit Card daily. Option 2) Withdrawing cash using my Schwab card inside the bank with a teller. Option 3) Transferring funds from my Schwab account to Bangkok Bank. Also would I receive a more favorable rate if I ask Schwab to convert USD to THB before transferring to Bangkok Bank? Many thanks!
