Recommend the 800K method. If there is a mistake in just one of your monthly transfers and the transfer is NOT documented as an international deposit, you will need to scramble to resend another 65K, to try and get the deposit listed as coming from outside of TL.

My daughter had a ticket to Italy to visit a friend. She flew domestic to NYC and the airline would not allow her to board the international flight because her passport expired in 4 months. Subsequently she lost her airfare and acquired unforseen expenses with regard to local accommodations and transportation back to her hometown. IMO your partner needs to apply for an expedited passport, if that is possible.
