On Transfer Purpose: select Purchase of Property

What if my recipient uses a different bank?
You can ask for a Confirmation Letter of International Fund Transfer form.
What’s a Confirmation Letter of International Fund Transfer?
It's a confirmation letter listing the details of your international transfer, which can be issued for all purpose codes.
As of 2017, The Foreign Exchange Transaction (FET) forms have been discontinued.
Why can’t Wise give me a Confirmation Letter of International Fund Transfer?
We aren't authorised by the Bank of Thailand to issue a Confirmation Letter of International Fund Transfer. It’s because of how we work: when you send money with us, we use our Thai banking partners to send out your money locally. It doesn’t cross any borders, so it doesn’t show up as a foreign transaction.
How can I get a Confirmation Letter of International Fund Transfer?
The recipient needs to ask for a Confirmation Letter of International Fund Transfer from the partner bank that we paid your money out from. You can check which bank this is on your transfer receipt. To find it:
Go to the transfer in the Activity section of your Wise account
Click View transfer details
Click Download PDF receipt
Go to the second page to find banking partner details

Transfers sent via Kasikorn Bank
If the transfer was sent out by Kasikorn Bank, the recipient needs to go to their nearest Kasikorn Bank International Trade centre. They’ll need to bring:
their Bank Savings Passbook or statement showing the transaction
their passport
their visa (if applicable)
Kasikorn Bank may charge an administration fee.
Transfers sent via Tranglo
Tranglo supports payouts to Siam Commercial Bank for THB 50,000 and above. If the transfer was sent out by Tranglo, the recipient needs to contact Siam Commercial Bank via their call center and provide the following information:
Recipient details
Date & time of the transaction that they are requiring for a CA/Confirmation Letter of International Fund Transfer
Recipients will be verified by Siam Commercial Bank during the call and the form will be received to their verified email tied to their Siam Commercial Bank account.
It may take up to three working days for the form to be sent by Siam Commercial Bank.
There are no charges from Tranglo nor SCB at the moment for this requirement.
Swift transfers
Sometimes, we might send your transfer through a different banking partner who can’t provide a Confirmation Letter of International Fund Transfer. This might be because of a technical issue, or some other unforeseen event.
If you know you definitely need a Confirmation Letter of International Fund Transfer, it’s best that you send a Swift transfer with your bank this time. Swift is a more expensive method, because it’s not a local transfer. But it does mean you’ll be able to prove that the money came from abroad.
