65000 baht renewal and wise

[offset]

Has anybody been asked for a yearly statement from Wise when doing a renewal Retirement Extension 

[BrandonJT]

The statement from your Thai bank that shows each transfer is an international transfer should be the only thing that you need. There are some offices that might ask for proof of where the income is coming from, but I believe they are asking more along the lines of a pension or social security statement, than the statement from the bank where the funds came from.

Have you been asked, and why?

You can print off your Wise transaction receipts if required.

[DrJack54]

OP, you are best off to use your 12 month bank statement (from the bank). 

These will show the monthly transfers. 

In the event of incorrect codes then chat with your bank about "credit advice". 

A credible poster on the forum (can't recall who) has understanding that if you ask for the statement in Thai language it states in Thai script "money from abroad"

I have a MONTHLY Bkk Bankk account to which I send my monthly transfer, as Long Term Funds, arriving as 12 International Transfers/one sheet. This is then immediately sent to my CURRENT/SPENDING account to use for living.

Together with my permanent deposit in a Fixed Deposit account, all I need are the two statement sheets (Bht 100 each) from the Bank.

Sometimes the transfers are not shown as international but rather Thai bank to Thai bank. (internal transfers) 

Clearly you have not had that issue. 

 

Here is thread discussing the problem and as mentioned above "credit advice" may be required.

When asked by Wise reason for transfer you have to scroll down to the bottom and click on for long term stay in Thailand then the transfer will go into Bangkok bank as FTT which shows an international transfer

Some reports of that also having a glitch occasionally even when selecting the option you mention. 

Including Bangkok Bank.

So nobody as tried or been ask for a yearly statement from Wise to confirm a foreign transaction

I have read a report of someone doing that however can't recall if it was accepted. 

IMO why would it be accepted. 

Bit same as 12 month bank statement being obtained from banking app and spat out on home printer. Has zero credibility. 

 

Why is alternative proof of international transfers so difficult for you. 

Or is it just a hypothetical question.

Yes, I've printed off monthly Wise receipts as proof of International transfers, which were accepted by Immigration.

 

When Immigration introduced new orders accepting monthly overseas transfers, depending on who you banked with, the option chosen as the reason for transfer on the Wise site, and the Wise partner bank that paid it to your account, which at that time was Bangkok bank, Kasikorn or the TMB, transfers were not always coded as overseas transfers, so Wise transfer receipts became proof of an overseas transfer.

Previously, some banks could issue a 'credit receipt' as proof, or you required a 'funds transfer receipt' from the Wise partner bank that made the transaction.

 

The situation has since improved and regardless of which Wise partner branch (BKK or KK) paid out to a different bank, I believe all banks can now issue a 'credit receipt' as proof of an International transfer.  Although an overseas transfer may not be coded as such in a passbook, it could be listed as 'International' on a bank statement.

 

I'm still puzzled as to the reason behind your question.
There is no yearly statement printable from Wise, they are printable per transaction.

If you're asking if you can get by with ONLY a statement from Wise, you most certainly cannot.  You'll need your Thai bank statement, showing the 12 monthly international transfers.  The only time a Wise statement could even possibly come into play is if the immigration asks for proof of the source of funds, or if you need additional verification that it's an international transfer.  But the Wise statement alone is useless and does not meet the requirements of the extension.

You can print a WISE statement with all transactions within a date range.

Yes you can do it in their app and it is sent back virtually straight away

And do what with it. 

Is the OP planning on using this online statement as proof funds came from abroad. Surely not.

Again as per same question above.. 

What was the one year of WISE transactions used for? 

Surely not for immigration to confirm international transactions. 

OP asked the question and didn't state the reasoning behind it

It is the same for me but recently Wise has automatically defaulted to long term stay in Thailand.

 

For my annual extension I provide a copy of my annual bank statement with the 12 monthly transfers highlighted.  I don’t provide anything from Wise.

And that's exactly what is required. 

Anything from WISE would mean nothing. 

OP, has contributed zero

Although no longer offering the choices from the pull down menu, there is still an option to edit your choice of reason.  No real need to for sending to Bangkok Bank as all transfers nowadays give the international transfer designation.

News to me. 

In any event WISE has nothing to do with it. 

Immigration will want to see bank records of 12 month transfers. 

Find this thread misleading. 

If using income method obtain 12 month bank statement from your Thai bank. 

If still confusion re proof of international transfers than obtain "credit advice" 

WISE has nothing to do with price of fish

Started a few weeks ago and probably more discussed over in the banking section.

Agreed.  OP has been answered.

seeing as you need to get the year detail transaction report from your thai bank account showing the international transfer code on the previous years incoming transfers I highly doubt that immigrations cares you used WISE to move the money. (I mean probably couldn't hurt to have it with you) but can't see them asking for it seeing as they have no clue how you moved the money here and they use your bank book and transaction codes from your bank to see that they're international origin. 

They just wanna see you hit the monthly minimum required international transfer, each month, every month for the previous 12 months before you apply for your next extension

In the early days when Immigration introduced the option to provide proof of monthly income transfers from overseas, Wise used 3 partner banks, Bangkok, KK and TMB.

Funds could arrive paid out by any of the 3 banks to any other bank, so they were not always coded as FTT in a passbook or as International on a statement.

When this caused some disconcert, Wise introduced a 'tagging' system in an effort to ensure they would make every effort to ensure you were paid from the same partner branch to match your own bank, Which in many cases simple wasn't possible.
They later introduced the option to select 'long term stay in Thailand' for the reason of transfer as an alternative to having to 'tag' your account.

 

Bangkok Bank was the only bank that notified the branch it was regarded as an overseas transfer, so the FTT code would appear in the passbook.
Kasikorn didn't notify the local branch, invariable you could though request a 'credit advice' as proof of an international transfer.

 

The expat I dealt with had a Bangkok bank account, but one payment was paid out by KK to his BKK account.
BKK couldn't issue a 'credit receipt' for a transfer instigated by KK, and KK could only issue a CR for KK banking customers.
We were advised that KK could issue a 'Foreign exchange transfer' notice, but only available from their International section at selected branches.

The nearest KK branch with an International section was in Korat, a 2 1/2 hour drive.

The expat being disabled couldn't drive, didn't have a car and could barely walk 20 metres.

 

The Wise receipt for that particular transfer provided details of the source, the currency, exchange rate and the Thai bank details.
Immigration accepted that as evidence of an International transfer.

 

Things have mightily improved since those early days with much more communication and cooperation between the Thai banks, so why you would need 'Wise' receipts as proof today is strange, unless the OP has a problem with evidence of International transfers and Immigration have requested his Wise transfer receipts as confirmation.

I stoically collected 12 mths of credit advices from  BB and took them back to the bank for their letter of confirmation for my agent assisted annual extension. Unfortunately I had kept 800k in my account in case there was a problem and Agent Bank and Immigration took the 800k route rather than the hassle of the 12 mths x 65k! BB said I need to move the 800 k to another bank if I wanted to go the 12x65 next year. On reflection I will probably go the 12x65k route with Krungsri  (coded as Global Payment Hub) but will eat up a lot of bank books as this is our main spending account. Don't make it easy-do they!

Don't know why you were told that. 

Assume that advice was from Bangkok Bank? 

They are not immigration. 

Why can't you have monthly transfers of 65k+ into an account that maintains 800k+ balance

[offset]

Sorryi have been waiting to see if a Wise statement has been used before 

A couple that that i am good friends with, went to do their extension for the first time after using an agent before

The husband used the 800000 method and had no problem, but when the wife wanted to use the 65000 method she had a 13 months of statements from BB Bank which were not accepted although she said they had FTT for all foreign transaction, (to be honest I am not convinced that was correct) she was then asked to show Wise statements, which she did but these were not accepted because it was listed the wrong way, the only way to get here extension was to pay money which she did

This info would have been good to include in OP.

So one friend previously used an agent.

Frankly surprised he was able to DIY using money in bank method.

Most need start over with new Non O.

Also you did not mention immigration office. 

Second hand story with not much clarity. 

[offset]

I did not supply the Immigration office was because her paperwork was not good enough unless she paid money then it was all ok and she got her extension

In other words the husband obtained extension using money in bank method after using an agent.

Don't know how.

The wife obtained her extension by paying 15k .

So both have 12 month extension.

What is your thread asking. 

Rhetorical question.
