My understanding is generally, no, Revolut is not as reliable as Wise for this specific purpose. I found the following info: While Wise has a direct partnership with Thai banks to ensure transfers are coded as "International Transfer", Revolut often uses local clearing systems. This means the money may arrive in your Thai account as a local transfer, which Immigration will likely reject as proof of foreign income. The Key Differences: Wise: Explicitly provides the "International Transfer" (FTT) status on bank passbooks because they send funds via the THB "Bahtnet" or specialized banking routes. Revolut: Often routes payments through local Thai partners. Even if the money originated abroad, the bank statement in Thailand may show it as a domestic "Domestic Transfer" or "Transfer," which does not meet the legal requirement for a retirement visa.
