You can walk in with however much cash you have got! unless it raises so many concerns!Alagomeji wrote:Hello Iyanu,
I am okay with the Nigerian end I guess. What I am more worried about is the UK side of things. A friend of mine who recently visited the UK said he was searched, and told to declare how much cash he was holding.
At the same time, i really am not ready to entrust my finances to any bank to transfer for me.
Dont forget - you are also allowed to bring Nairas into the UK if you wantBoom05 wrote:It is better you buy travellers cheque if your concern for cash persist. Alternatively, Backlays Bank has a representative office in Ikoyi Lagos, you can get them to open an account for you. That might even solve part of the problem you might encounter opening an account in the Uk before you start working. I am not personally disposed to carrying cash especially when its not that you will spend it at once.
