Adelphi Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I need to transfer Thai Baht 800k to my Thailand bank account for the first extension of my Non O Retirement Visa. My Immigration Office is Pattaya. Can I use Wise to do this? The potential problem is that it shows up in my TTB account as an internal transfer. I can send the money direct from my UK bank which shows up as an international transfer but the exchange rate is not as good as Wise. Any advice much appreciated.

ubonjoe Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Proot the 800k baht was transferred from abroad is only required if you are applying for non-o visa for retirement at immigration. Proof is not required for a one year extension of stay based upon retirement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WISE has a somewhat hidden function to produce a PDF with the transfer details. Clearly shows foreign amount and amount of Thai Baht credited to your account.

KhunBENQ Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 It's a three page PDF. When I am at the desktop I will do a pixelated example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombie nights Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Surely immigration only concerned that there is 800k bht in your bank account as shown in bank book. In your case they ain't concerned with where the money comes from. See what ubonjoe says above. Edited October 27, 2022 by zombie nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi one further question please. I don’t have a bank book. Will I actually need a bank book when I go to Immigration? I know I will need a letter from my bank. I operate my account via the internet although I think TTB would issue a bank book if I asked for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case you'll need to obtain a 12-month statement at the same time as your account confirmation letter. Not sure whether TTB issue 12-month statements on the spot, though (as well documented on here Bangkok Bank, for instance, certainly don't). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
