I recently got a one year retirement visa. I had put the 800k in Kasikorn to comply with the requirements. However, for year 2, I am planning on going via the 65k a month route. I tried to do a test transfer back to the UK of a small amount of the 800k. Once all the transfer information is completed there is a box “income earned from working in Thailand”. It is compulsory to tick that box otherwise you can’t use the next button and move on to the next page of the transfer. I don’t want to tick that box as it is not from working in Thailand.

Has anyone managed to successfully repatriate the funds they sent over to Thailand? If so, advice on how to do it would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, that box can be tricky, many expats face the same issue, it’s best to visit your Kasikorn branch and ask them to process the transfer manually, explaining it’s your own funds, not income earned in Thailand.

use the swift option to transfer , not that one you try now , .....but the transfer fee is higher with swift .....Thai bamks are more & more tricky  to get money .....Something is behind all this banking changes , i repatriated my 800 K by swift using in last sept. day after day (20 X ).... but it worked by keeping every transactio just under 50 000 K  i abandoned the ret, ext as no trust them anymore , something is going to happen here in TH. i fear

Now just coming Thailand with NON  0  2  E-visa  keeping my 800K on Home country bank  2 times up to only 6 months a year visiting Thailand
