ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A user experienced issues with TransferWise following changes that began in July, as their transfers were routed through Kasikorn Bank, which converted the transaction into a local transfer. This change resulted in their funds not being accepted by Immigration for retirement visa purposes. They also mentioned the need to pay extra for a confirmation letter at Kasikorn Bank. A commenter advised selecting the 'Long Stay Thailand' option when using TransferWise for funds intended for visa applications.
