Due to regulatory changes in Thailand, transfers of 50,000 THB and above will only be available for Kasikorn Bank, Bangkok Bank, and Siam Commercial Bank recipients. Effective on 7 January 2022, 1PM Bangkok time. Transfers under 50,000 THB remain unaffected for all supported recipient banks.


rate on wise is 45. 57atm

I got the same message on Jan 6th. I had planned to send some dosh and since I am with Krung Thai I decided to do it there and then. More than B50K.

The app said it would arrive on the 7th, so I clicked OK. Then it changed to the 10th. Here we are on the 10th and no progress on the transfer. I don't know where it is, no update from Wise.

In fairness, the delay is probably not their fault, although the lack of information is.

Last time I sent funds the cash was in my Krung Thai account within 2 minutes of me clicking OK.

Same here today, sending money usually takes two mins, said this time would take 32 minutes that was 2 hours ago

My funds did eventually arrive in the Krung Thai account on the 10th. This was after the 7th, obviously, and over B50K, but it went through okay, if somewhat slower than usual. I gave them some feedback about that.

I have a Bangkok Bank account. Maybe I'll use that next time, just to avoid any difficulty, even though I don't understand what the difficulty is.

I read that some Immigration officers have been unhappy about Wise transfers for those retirees using monthly transfers. It is sort of true to say that the transfer itself is domestic, although the net effect is still bringing funds into Thailand. Perhaps these things are all connected, although why the rules should be different for different banks is a bit of a mystery.

Yes, i can't remember the poster now but there was a thread where, i think headhunter was complaining about renewals and someone mentioned they had issues with Wise transfers not showing as foreign transfers-in and that they got their bank to code all wise transfers as foreign to solve the overseas income issue.

If i have time later i'll try to hunt it down, although with this forum software it might be a needle haystack issue.

Big drop again.

Got my transfer in before you reduced it Snakey.

Another big drop .
