Transferring money out of South Africa – process.
Transferring money out of South Africa is not a simple exercise. The impact of exchange control regulations comes to the fore and individuals and companies have to face a process that includes tax clearances and reserve bank approval.
For our ‘immigrant’ clients, the ease of a money transfer out of South Africa is directly associated with the method and record keeping of money that was transferred into South Africa. It is often the case that the paperwork and record keeping were not completed as they should have been – the effect of this is to complicate any repatriation of funds and even prevent it. Please note that using the services of a currency expert or bank who is not familiar with South African exchange control regulations can be the cause of issues later on when transferring funds out of South Africa.
