How about in order to confirm the applicants address in Thailand. 

If they do not post it anywhere what is the point.

Unexpected twist is that they now require translated copy of house-book, national ID or drivers license. 

Never seen that published anywhere.

Passport to be sent to you, this option is no longer available. 

Nor that.

Pib is a poster on here who knows more than most on here.

Anyone who has followed this project will know we are constantly set challenges, which we step by step overcome.

You certainly have but people who booked for today,s sailing expecting 1st class dining might be slightly annoyed. Are the swanky bars still open.?

Does anyone know if immigration offices will also be closed for the Rama 9 holiday?

The I/O,S are closed 13 - 16 October. Open Mon 17th. Another OFF on 24th I think.

But I can still do a bank to bank transfer on my phone app on those days.

So the computers are not on holiday.

I think Wise use an agent in Bangkok - if the banks are closed he /she cannot access his /her sack of Thai  Baht to transfer.

I  think it says should arrive in seconds. Best never to leave it till a Friday or day before  a bank holiday.

Don t forget they might be closed today (Buddhist Lens) and might be closed Thursday and Friday (not sure about immigration but it's a long weekend)

If it is the case they might be very busy next week beginning....

Went last week around 11 and not busy at all..the lady checking the extensions files didn't have a single "customer"

Have a good day

 

Thanks yes they are closed, I do not live far so will try Tuesday. If busy I will try Thursday

Are IO,s shut 13/14 this week.?

I am going to Jomtien Immigration next Tuesday 18 Oct. about 11 am. Anyone report on how busy they are now.?

I see Wise will not guarantee rates at 5000 GBP or more at the moment. 4999 GBP they will.

I have 30 FTT,S this year. Shall I ask BKK Bank to print all of them or just the 13 monthly over 65000 Bht ones?

Yes, it really is a P I T A to press the 'Repeat this transaction' button again.

You may not think so but the majority on this thread find it so.

Just sent 20000 twice . Email says both will arrive today at 2.13 pm. If that works I will have to send 2 more 20000,s tomorrow - this is a pain in the ass.

Maybe Bank of Thailand opening time which is 0830 like full service/stand alone banks in Thailand. 

0840 -Still restricted.

Has anyone tried multiple transfers of 20,000 - I assume not.

I don't remember seeing anything saying it was a max of 20/28K THB per day....just per transfer.    I expect it's like the 50K THB limit per transfer to Thai banks other than Bangkok Bank, K-Bank, and SCB....but you  can send as many 50K transfers per day as your funding will permit.

 

https://wise.com/help/articles/2932335/guide-to-thb-transfers

 

But it says if you want to send more than 20000 Baht wait until Monday. Why would the restriction be eased after the w/e.? You cannot send more than 20000 Baht to the banks with the 50000 limit.?

It would be helpful if Wise added to the warning the reason. Also what time zone they use for 3 Oct. If it stays at that limit it will take 4 days for immigration transfers.

Just tried WISE again and the limit in pink GBP -THB is now 20,000 Baht. What is going on.?
