What Are the Issues with Using TransferWise for International Transfers Regarding Thai Visa Applications?

TransferWise Bank Transfers Long Term Visa

Dec 27, 2019

6 years ago

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi! Yesterday I saw topic about TransferWise but it was deleted already, so I can't respond there. Can anyone explain me what is the problem with that? In topic there were montioned that transfers using TransferWise are not treated like international, because it goes through some local banks at the end of transfer process. Does it affect getting long term visas somehow? I use this application to send money to live here and I am curious why it's problematic for some people. 

To admins/mods - if this topic is against the rules, please delete it, but I will be grateful for any answer. Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user seeks clarity on the implications of using TransferWise for money transfers in relation to Thai long-term visa requirements, particularly after noticing a deleted discussion on the topic. They wonder whether TransferWise's method of routing funds through local banks affects their visa application process.
