How to use

  1. Record every instalment the buyer remitted from overseas. Enter the baht amount shown on the bank's FET certificate.
  2. Enter the FET number for every instalment. Any instalment without supporting evidence will be flagged.
  3. The total must not be less than the sale and purchase price before the transfer appointment.

Common problems

  • If the remitter's name does not match the buyer, request a corrected letter from the bank.
  • The transfer purpose does not state the purchase of a condominium unit.
  • For a shortfall caused by the exchange rate or fees, advise the buyer to remit an extra 2–3%.
  • Check the purpose code and document format with the receiving bank every time.
