ORIGINAL POSTER
Transferwise/Immigration problem. I am trying to get a Non-O Visa. Requires 2 bank letters- one of them verifying balance, the other indicating funds came from (were transferred from) overseas. The problem- Transferwise now has a (new?) banking relationship with TMB Bank Thailand. It sends the money from My US bank to TMB, then does a "SMART transfer" to Bangkok Bank (my Thai bank). Because it comes in as a SMART transfer and not an foreign transfer, Bangkok Bank is UNABLE to send the second required letter and I am absolutely stuck. Any ideas or information is greatly appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is facing challenges obtaining two bank letters required for a Non-O Visa application due to a new banking relationship involving Transferwise and TMB Bank Thailand. The process involves funds being transferred from a US bank to TMB and then to a Thai bank (Bangkok Bank) as a SMART transfer, which hampers the ability to acquire the necessary verification letters.
