@Nongnuch *******

maybe yours is a Thai card?

@Philippe ********

I might try that. Send money to the credit card few hours before but I'm sure they reject positive balance. It must be zero or negative. I'll try anyway. My credit card app shows immediate value of foreign currency withdrawal in my UK card account. I can send GBP immediately to clear within one hour.

@Charles *******

krungsri still does that for debit cards. Other banks will only process credit cards. A conspiracy to cooperate to create customer debts!

@Philippe ********

credit cards can't normally have a positive balance. Immediately the negative balance appears,after taking cash send exact amount to the credit card account to return to ZERO balance "0.00"

@Maksym **********

. Me too. Other banks refuse Debit and only process against credit cards.

@Maksym **********

krungsri allows this. Other banks only allow on CREDIT card (big debts they want for you) not debit card. Clear credit card amount immediately after withdrawal then it's a free service

@Gorgon ****

XE app ALSO. send for in person PICK UP by yourself. Collection point Siam Commercial Bank....costs us GBP ￡3 for 100,000 baht etc. Take passport to siam Commercial after sending and confirmation email with transaction reference number. Fill in counter form. Takes 10 minutes.

@Rodney *******

your advice to pay whatever it costs irrespective of value for money and the corruption in the system may be swallowed by the ill informed and the dummies. Not by me!

@Rodney *******

you're seriously uninformed. Again u generalise and judge. What a dick. It's not about me. I can well afford reasonably priced retirement visa. The educational study visa is three times the price and not everyone coming in is from a high income country hence my comments about affordability and discrimination. I'm not affected to you're insulting and wrong to say I'm tight. Doesn't mean I don't have my head screwed on and know what's good value for money effective solutions for others needing guidance. Now pep down and shut the fuck up u plonker Rodney！

@Rodney *******

they're not all suitable. There's elements of discrimination too. Some are unreasonably or disproportionately expensive. Don't generalise. It's not easy or reasonably priced for all visitors so everyone makes their own strategy based on all available alternatives and what's likely to work. Don't judge people who are forced to use more fraught 60 day stamp option at their own risk.
