MJCM Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Does anyone know if Wise reports to the Thai Taxman the Balance you have in THB in Wise? At the moment I am converting EURO to THB but only in my Wise Balance and not sending it to my Thai Bank Accounts. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSaiyan Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Generally yes, if your Wise account has a Thai address. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfd101 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Just as a side thought that you may (or may not) find useful: To use Wise for regular transfers to Thailand you don't HAVE to have a balance sitting in Wise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but I prefer to use my Wise THB Balance and THB Jar (like to keep the Balance in my Thai Bank accounts under 1 Million THB (800.000 THB already taken by FD for immigration)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circa02 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Isn't there some catch with this too, that you pay twice essentially, once converting EUR to THB (loading your virtual thb account), and another when you move it to Thailand? I remember looking into this when the pound was peaking but I couldn't get a clear picture of the fees when using wise.com for storing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct in your thinking, but even transfers (EURO which converted are well over 50k THB) are almost instantly added to your Balance and don't take a day or so to get transferred to your Thai Bank account and that is why I use it. And transferring the money out there is AFAIK only a fee of 31(ish) (YMMV) THB for any transfer Have a look at this screenshot (taken just now) taken when sending 90.000 THB to my Thai Bank account and the fee is only 31,70 THB (This transfer would arrive on Monday (tmrw) in my Thai Bank account) I personally like it, but it's up to personal preferences of course) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The answer to this changes based on which country you’re in. Certain Wise entities must comply with the global anti-tax evasion regimes, FATCA and CRS, due to the type of products they offer.

So, it's okay to believe whatever you want, I am not stopping you, I am just telling you that you're incorrect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
