Move to make Health Insurance Mandatory - Retirement Visas

Interesting. I hardly ever get my passbook updated - certainly not in 2018 - but in 2017 my bank's passbook shows Transferwise payments with a code of "TN" which I suspect just means "Transaction". I went online just now to see what the Transaction History shows and the same code is used - TN - for deposits made this week. The same teller code is used for all Transferwise deposits which may mean something to the bank but it's not as transparent as your FTT transaction code. I have read on the Whiners & Whingers Forum (Thaivisa) that other Transferwise users report that it shows up in their bank as a domestic rather than a foreign transaction

I have started using Transferwise and have now had several transfers into my account using their service. I use Bangkok Bank, when funds are deposited, I receive a text message notifying me of a deposit from abroad - it is coded in my account as a foreign transaction. Thus, if using transferwise and Bangkok Bank, there should be no problem getting a bank letter showing the amounts received are from a foreign source. I also transfer more than the 65k on a monthly basis, so if the final "rule" is it must be from abroad on a monthly basis, then it should cause me no problem.

But, I was communicating with a British chap recently who also uses trasferwise to send money from his UK bank to his Kasikorn Bank account. He had just discovered that his deposits were being recorded as domestic transfers by Kasikorn Bank. Based on further inquiries, he said that apparently Transferwise sends funds to a particular Thai bank (he didn't find out which one), which then transfers the funds on to his bank account as a domestic transfer. Although no firm rules have yet been provided by Thai Immigration, he hopes they will accept his copy of Transferwise notice showing amount in pounds, fees, and baht transferred is in agreement with the amount recorded as received by Kasikorn Bank.
