thanks so much!

Yes that's exactly our thought! I got the example of an Uyghur refugee camp in Thailand, people have been kept there for years and are just being sent back to China little by little when Thailand needs a favor from China. There are actually entire companies which business model is to sell that...

Yes he's also working on getting his money outta there, which is another headache @_@ thank you for checking!

Well he has never been able to go outside of the country! Yes true, even with a passport right now it is hard to get out, not only because of the lockdown, but because the government is trying to prevent people from leaving. Lots of folks from middle/upper class have started to get out and now...

I contacted the French embassy (my embassy) and an employee there told me that. I had a similar response from an immigration lawyer that I got in touch with. If the person is already in the country it takes less time according to them.

He is Uyghur living in China. We tried contacting embassies regarding that one and it is actually a bit difficult to get as you need to first get the refugee status which could take years according to my embassy, especially with Ukrainians and Iranians getting the priority these days (I am not...

Hi everyone, I have a good friend who is part of an oppressed minority in their country and their government denies any passport request from their ethnic group, so they are basically stuck in that country, at the mercy of the bullying from the police. They were looking at CIP but quickly...

ahah I think until a few years ago it was doable, but now they are way more strict from what I heard @PinChoALTA as think as @Forester pointed out, it might be a hassle and hard to find clients for a such short amount of time, but I'm keeping the idea in case other ways do not work out!

Never heard of that service before, I'm going to look into it, thanks! I will also check about changing the RMB from HK Yes, I'm pretty sure that's the case =) But previously my bank investigated me because my company was wiring some of my salary from HK to my French account, not sure if they...

I need to research a bit, it could be a good idea! Could you DM me? I can't find the way to DM someone from their profile for some reason. thanks!

We can't really travel to HK right now, but the issue would remain the same, we wouldn't be able to link a Chinese bank account to a crypto exchange. P2P would be possible but we would need to find someone we trust for that kind of amount, or a way to make the transaction secure That's actually...

Yes I tried to contact my French bank, they were ok with it if the money was transferred from my partner's account and she could provide translated tax receipts, but were not too keen on having the money transiting through other accounts. The thing is that they never gave me a clear answer...

The total amount would be less than $400,000 and each person has a limit of $50,000 per year in China, so it would take about 8 different people. Do you mean that a bank in Switzerland would work? thanks for helping!

Sent you an email! I think we tried to test the waters with only $5,000 and it got rejected by N26 I didn't detail this part because I wanted to keep it short ahah. I do have a Chinese account BUT foreigners have to prove that they earned that money by bringing payslips and all kinds of...

Hello, Here is my situation, I am a European citizen living in China and my partner is Chinese. We would like to get our savings out of the country before leaving. Getting my money is not too hard, but Chinese citizens have a limit of what they can transfer abroad per year. The usual workaround...
