International money transfers

Sending money from Russia to Greece may require specific channels due to current financial restrictions. Traditional bank transfers might be difficult. Consider options like services that facilitate international money transfers, though availability and fees can vary. Alternatively, if physically in Greece, depositing cash directly into a Greek bank account is a possibility, provided you have the necessary account details and identification.

Quickpay is a viable option for money transfers from Russia to Greece. Users have reported successful transactions involving both cash withdrawals in Euros at local pickup points and direct transfers to Greek bank cards. The latter involves currency conversion from USD to EUR at the bank's exchange rate. Funds have consistently arrived in full without issues, indicating reliability for international transfers.

International money transfers to Greece involve currency control regulations in the sending country (e.g., Russia) and compliance requirements in Greece. While transfers are generally possible, it's crucial to understand and address any reasons for rejection. The commission for such transfers can be around 200 EUR. Hungary is not directly involved in this process for transfers to Greece.

If a money transfer is refused, it may be necessary to contact the recipient's bank to obtain permission or resolve the issue, even if there were no problems on the sender's end. In Greece, banks may sometimes request confirmation of the origin of funds, especially for large payments, or require prior notification.

Funds transfer strategy: 1. Cash limits: 10,000 EUR per person per crossing (including minors). 2. Documentation: Always declare cash at the border and retain all customs declarations. 3. Bank justification: Provide the customs declarations and the property sale contract (with apostille/translation) to the Greek bank to prove the legal source of funds.
