Keep ready documentation that shows who is sending funds, who will receive them, the purpose and currency conversion. Banks typically require: a copy of your passport or ID, proof of address, and the source of funds (bank statements or sale documents). For property purchases, have copies of the sale/purchase agreement, contract, or invoice showing the property's price and beneficiary. If a Thai lawyer is involved, keep their engagement letter and any correspondence. You should also have bank account details for the recipient (name, account number, bank, branch, SWIFT/IBAN if needed) and the destination country’s banking information. Prepare a short, clear explanation of the transaction’s purpose (e.g., property purchase, deposit, fees) and keep a record of the exchange rate used for the transfer. Check with the receiving bank and your lawyer about any additional documents or wording they require. Keep copies of communications and any transfer confirmations, so you can reconcile payments against contracts. Because rules can change, confirm requirements with your bank and lawyer before sending funds.
