Whatever you submit (official tax filings, invoices, bylaws), it's not enough and they want more. So they won't release the money to you until they are satisfied.

All these documents have to be emailed and there is no transfer portal.
Wise has good rates, but be aware of their KYC practices.
Grateful if you would be more precise
