Foreign Telegraphic Transfer. But that's only necessary if you need the deposit to show it came from abroad for Immigration. The money Transferwise 'sends' is already in their accounts here in Thailand, so should not take that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can specify SWIFT on the T'wise site. That will cost you more, but will definitely be an FTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabhand Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Have had the opposite experience recently with TW. Previously ( the last year or so) my transfers (Stg from UK) had invariably arrived next day, with some, if actioned by 7am, arriving same day. All by 2pm into my BBL account. The last two, last week and yesterday (being advised that will be in my BBL account tomorrow), have taken two days to be credited. This had been indicated during the payment process but I had. wrongly, assumed this was TW just being cautionary. With the recent rate increase (albeit minimal), issues with FTT notifications of transfers to BBL and now the unusual, for me, delays, the initial shine of the TW product is starting to fade. Yes, still the best option for me when the exchange rates are factored in, but recent experience is not so good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done it but I understand that for US citizens there is additional paperwork that must be completed (if sending any amount over 10,000) to satisfy IRS requirements.
