Money Saving Tips for Thailand

Expert advice for your international transfer

If you are looking to buy property in Thailand, your solicitor will do most of the work before you have to sign anything or pay any deposit so take good legal advice.

It is recommended that you apply for a visa prior to travelling if you are wishing to stay in Thailand for more than 40 days.

In general, buyers pay around 2% transfer fees, 1% legal fees and 0.5% stamp duty, substantially cheaper than most countries.

You have to be sure you have cleared up all of your financial affairs in the UK before you moved abroad including clearing loans, sorting out bank accounts and telling HMRC you are leaving the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about sending money to Thailand

What is the cheapest way to send money to Thailand?

The cheapest way to send money to Thailand depends on your transfer amount. For larger transfers (over £1,000), specialist providers like Wise or OFX typically offer better rates than banks. Compare providers above to see which offers the best deal for your specific amount.

How long does it take to transfer money to Thailand?

Most transfers to Thailand are completed within 1-3 working days. Some providers offer same-day or next-day delivery for an additional fee. The exact time depends on the provider, payment method, and whether the recipient's bank processes weekend transfers.

What information do I need to send money to Thailand?

You'll typically need: the recipient's full name (as it appears on their bank account), their bank account number, the bank's SWIFT/BIC code, and for some countries an IBAN. You may also need the recipient's address and the bank's name and address.

Are money transfer services safe to use?

Yes, the providers we compare are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or equivalent regulators. They must keep your money in segregated accounts and follow strict anti-money laundering procedures. Always check a provider's regulatory status before sending money.

Should I use my bank to send money to Thailand?

Banks are generally more expensive for international transfers due to higher exchange rate margins and fees. Specialist money transfer providers typically offer rates 2-4% better than banks. Use our comparison to see how much you could save.
