Using Kasikorn Bank for Retirement extensions income method

[scubascuba3]

Based on recent threads my understanding is this:

 

1) Using Transferwise the transaction does not show as International Payment so no use.

 

2) Using a traditional bank (CHAPS), using Kasikorn still doesn't show as International Payment so still no use (not 100% on that)

 

Potential solution is to get payment advice from sender (Transferwise or bank) which may or may not be accepted by Kasikorn Bank.

 

So, it seems the only real solution is open a Bangkok Bank account where Transferwise and banks intl payments are coded as such.

 

 

Agree? thoughts?

Do you not think that if you show your Immigration man a statement showing say £1600 sent from TW showing the receiving bank account, and a deposit into said account the next day, he would accept it. I would hope so, especially if done on the same day every month.

I'd hope so, but I'd prefer guarantees otherwise you get pushed down the agency route or worse

As I understand it a new thread has stated Head Thai immigration office has come out with rules for Marriage/retirement extension written down as a foreign embassy or consulate has to confirm monthly earnings for 12 months.

Apologizes it seemed to me they still wanted confirmation.

If you are doing a conventional bank transfer, Kasikorn Bank head office will have a Credit Advice generated for each one that shows point of origin. You can arrange it get these routinely and showing them to your local branch should suffice to get them to include the details in their letter; I've done it this way for years.

 

Transferwise is another story because it arrives in Bangkok Bank first and is a domestic transfer to Kasikorn and the latter has no way of knowing where the funds first came form. You would have to get a letter from Bangkok Bank and then either persuade Kasikorn to include that info in their own letter (which they might or might not do) or else end up showing Imm 2 letters, one from Bangkok Bank  confirming the transfer from abroad and transfer of those funds onward to Kasikorn and one from Koasikorn confirming receipt of these transfers, and then explanation Imm why the two letters etc etc. A hassle.

 

I would say if you are doing direct bank transfers, no problem, just  get the Credit Advices  as described above,  but if using Transferwise, you might do better to change your account to Bangkok Bank.

How did you arrange that? i usually just go into Klang branch but maybe calling the central customer service to arrange? you request each time in this case monthly? or they automatically email to you?
