Money transfer is the safest option. Ask the bank how much it will cost as it depends on the sum being transferred.

Thank you message 2, have contacted the bank but they will only issue cheques for transfer in the TRNC and the banks here charge a very large amount to transfer money to the UK. Thank you both for your help.

Msg 7 & 8 Both right but if you travel from the TRNC via Cyprus then the lower real terms figure would apply.



Msg - 1 It depends on who you bank with and their arrangments with their branches "abroad". If the funds are over the 10K mentioned it would be worth doing it by a bank for security alone. If you need the money out to cover an emergency then it will be expensive probably no matter what route you use.

Flightholiday, if you leave the TRNC via (RoC) Cyprus or Ercan-Turkey or even by vessel then the 10,000 USD rule applies, it is the law here, clearly posted all all points of entry.

I transfered some money from HSBC to UK HSBC in large amounts no charge at all. Go and see Julie upstairs in HSBC she'll show you how to do it.

Indeed Benjie I can not see why anyone would possibly want to take it in cash.

Kate Msg 11 - The reason I said whichever is lower is that 10,000 USD could be more than the same number of Euro (on the day of travel) that is assuming they are travelling through from North to ROC Cyprus. Even though at todays rates $10,000 would be far less than € 10,000 (around 7,200) - another reason to suggest the bank route?
