give it another go. Wise tells you how long it will take and if it is not acceptable to you try another method.

I can only talk about my office but I had to use an agent during covid when I did not have access to funds as I did not expect to get stuck on Thailand. I had problems getting COR got hassle when doing 90 day report and generally given the run about over many issues I faced. They did not like me having a stamp from outside the province. They flatly refused to transfer my stamp into my new pass port so I had to fly to Bangkok. Agents have their place and some provide a very good service but you are on safer ground if you do it yourself and you can spend the fee on something more pleasant.

5 years. 4 years now and again and the last year once a month. Never had a problem . I dont need transfers in seconds. A couple of days or less suits me fine.

Ignore anyone who tells you to use an agent. It is a waste of money and does not save you much inconvenience. It could also cause you a number of problems in the future so it is much better to do it yourself as John Stanners has also explained.

Never have a problem with Wise. This months transfer took 22 hours just as they said it would and correctly marked as international.

@Jack ***************

the monthly transfers must show as International in your statements and bank book.

It is also worth getting your Wise account tagged. Bangkok Bank has been the most reliable transfer option for me to show international transfer.

You should have an option of long term stay until Thailand. Are you using Web or app?

thanks for the heads up. I will be sure to give it a wide birth.
