Bringing in £ to LOS

[Paul BRS 64]

I am aware that there is a limit of £10,000 as far as cash is concerned or at least that it has to be declared, however are there any rules with regards to transfering money from my UK bank to my Kasikorn account, i.e. a maximum amount etc.

 

Cheers

That £10k you mention is via your bank on a daily transfer and I enquired with HSBC and it seems the max daily aloowance

 

I would not recommend taking large sums through Heathrow though regardless whether yu have a bank statement showing a withdrawl its still a licence for them to question you and possibly hold the cash and delay your exit

I know plenty farangs, myself included that have used SWIFT to send anything up to £20,000+ for buying a Condo ect, from their UK Bank to their Thai Bank.

Yes, I had to split into 2 lumps, to meet my bank's limitation, but a few days apart, £40,000.... each time. Not much issue when it arrived either.

There is no limit on the amount of money you are "allowed" to import to Thailand. If it's cash or similar it has to be declared but please bring millions, lots of people do.

Cash (without declaration)

 

Out of UK 10K Euros (for some strange reason)

Into Thailand $20K USD

 

 

Bank transfer UK to Thailand

 

Much talk of daily limits - but Ive never encountered this (my last one was for £20K all done on line without a hiccough - same as always)

The above figures seem to me to be the limit that you are allowed to hand carry through immigration between countries in multiple curriencies. By SWIFT or TT transfer there is no limit.

 

The first set is worldwide anti money laundering restrictions but if you do by bank to bank they (authorities) can trace where the money originated.

 

I for one have transferred more than 10K euro or 20K US on several occasions with no problems.

No limit on SWIFT with Nationwide in the UK.

 

I sent £86,000 one time.

 

They do require you put a reason for the transfer on the form.

Anti Money Laundering laws of the UK:

 

1. any person leaving the EU must declare any amount of money carried over 10,000 Euro, (£8,500 apx).

 

2. any person carrying over £1,000 GBP must show legitimate entailment to the money, Customs may seize money they believe has bypassed the tax man or been earned while working illegally while in the UK.

 

Point in case, (from UK Boarder Force, series 2 episode 9), gentleman, "Dutch National" working as taxi driver in London exiting UK at LHR found with a considerable amount of cash, he first claimed it was well under £10,000 after ascertaining there was well over £15,000 which he claimed was to build a house in Eritrea and as he could not justify its was his legitimately, therefore the money was seized.
