A Wise account cannot be registered in Thailand. As a UK citizen your account, like mine will be registered in London
yes I know no money actually transfers
my address is in Thailand as I don't have a UK address, same with my UK bank so unlike you my wise account is registered here, it's a weird setup I know
it didn't ask me to verify my address or other personal details
it was specifically about the source of money I transfer (pension, savings etc) and the amount per year in bands, I wouldn't have brought it up on here if I didn't think it was odd, like I said above it looked like something the Thai revenue dept would ask for

Is the fact that my 'wise' account is registered in Thailand the reason that I haven't received such a request?
expect it soon, my wise account is registered in Thailand

I have my doubts about if this is a genuine request or an email scammer. Wise would know this information over your 8 year history. It could be due diligence and needing to confirm identity every 12 months, but you might want to email directly to the office you registered with.
it was from Wise

There would be no direct request from RD about you personally.
yes but the nature of the questions looked like they were straight from RD
source of funds
reason for transfer of funds
amount per year transferred
I have been using wise for +8 years

Ok thanks. Yes that does seem "unusual".
Sorry to be more pedantic but were the bands you mentioned the actual bands they asked as they do not match the Thai RD tax bands?
I didn't really pay much attention to the bands and exact numbers but was around the numbers I mentioned, the 450k might have been 480k not sure but definitely asked the question showing bands - I just ticked a few boxes and closed it, took about 20secs

because of the specific details it was specifically for Thailand, although I am a UK citizen my wise account is registered in Thailand, it looked very like a tax declaration including source of funds (pension - savings etc) and how much transfered per year with specific bands 0-250k 250k-450k etc, never had to do this before

A request was made from "wise" to confirm some details for regulatory confirmation, this looks like a direct request from the revenue dept in Thailand asking for source of money and the amount transferred per year (in specific bands)

It is a great idea.
3 hours or lost money. Up to you.
NB I never spent more than 10 minutes in the local PEA office when I used to pay them.
Never needed to show a passport when paying any bill. Certainly not in the PEA office.
They will take money off anyone.
2mins on the PEA app
