I logged on to StanChart's internet banking this morning and there was what looked like a surprisingly useful link about making overseas transfers, so I thought I'd share it on here:

It covers:

- 19 countries you can send to, including UK, Oz, US and Singapore

- Purpose of transfer. Regulations require the purpose to be stated.

- How to send via internet banking'

- Supporting documents - no getting away from the paperwork

- How to send the supporting documents - looks like they've moved into the modern world of accepting email and scans , in addition to fax

- Fees - around THB 350 at a glance - always look at the fine print

- Transfer Limit of THB 500,000

Link is here:

While this is specific to StanChart, things like purpose and supporting documents will be similar for other banks
