What is the largest amount of money one can take out of the country without a need to declare it?

Answer 1

You don't declare money when you leave a country; you declare money when you enter a country.

If you're entering the US (and most countries) you have to claim cash if it's over $10,000 (or the equivalent). But you can carry as much as you want 100% legally (they even tell you that on the form)--they just like to track large chunks of currency that enter the country.

Answer 2

Exchange controls were abolished about 25 years ago. So you can take out what you want. However, this leaves you open to being hauled over by customs to explain yourself, both leaving the UK and when you arrive at your destination. You also risk having the cash stolen from you or while it is in your bags. Much safer is to transfer the money via your bank. If you are not prepared to do this then I smell a rat.
Money laundering is a serious crime, punishable by many years in prison.

Answer 3

It's not the taking out that's a problem, it's where you're taking it that you will have to explain. Assuming you have paid tax etc and it's your own hard earned money you shouldn't worry. Check with the authorities where you are taking it is the best way to avoid major problems later.

Answer 4

all cash and bearer instruments must be declared; anything above $10,000 triggers an interview.

Answer 5

Well you can have a Debit card and a million in the bank so i would say a million?

Answer 6

It wouldn't matter how much you had.... "they" would know it. See that magnetic strip on your cash?
Uh-huh....
