Some of them offer a debit card which you can use at any ATM around the Globe, with 4000 EUR / month it should fill the gab for you.

Now, thats a good tip! 🙂
Then add some strange, but very innocent stuff that they'll have to give you advice on - and try to get into talking about their country or whatever ;-)
I've been moving a rather large amount to Asia︀ the past year, worth around a year or two as paid salary, the only problem︁ turned out to be Revolut asking for additional documents! (Actually all taxed and 100% legal,︂ I just cannot take all this scrutiny any longer...)
Tried the "gold coin in mix︃ of change" a couple of times, just to kinda get the hang of it -︄ then obviously my crypto follows me anywhere.
There are now a lot more serious stablecoins︅ as well as platforms where you actually get a good rate available, I'll be placing︆ some savings in DAI, USDC, USDT and others - easy to access and move around︇ at short notice, funneling it out via Wirex if say stuff like buying a ticket︈ for flying is necessary.
Also Bitrefill has their own USD-based "internal giftcards", could be another︉ place to put a smallish amount as its a very useful service anyway!

Can Wirex exchange these currencies to FIAT directly or do you need to exchange them for instant to BTC and then to FIAT?
Let me check... 🙂
Actually, all my accounts have NO way of adding directly from a wallet now!
Perhaps I've triggered something as I transferred around 400 euros in BTC out of Wirex and then pulled the 300 that was left via a vendor of some sorts in Gibraltar...
Something like this is exactly the reason I pulled what little I've got with Wirex!
Anyway, there is a wallet for DAI in my app at least, maybe someone else could try?
DAI seems to be quite stable and very interesting as the rates are good when placing it in some projects, so far I've opened up︀ on Oasis and DyDx myself.

dYdX (Can also be used for depositing & getting︁ a yield, not just an exchange)

Wirex exchange any of the supported cryptocurrencies to fiat and back. Some cryptos are EEA-only but the DAI stablecoin should be available to all Wirex accounts.
@Dasboot my account was locked for additional verification after quite a small turnover. I'm amazed they let you put 400 BTC through them without wanting to know your inside leg measurement.

Sorry! "400 euros in BTC " I misread it. I was quite surprised at the amount. 🙂
I was annoyed that they just locked the account, instead of warning "you're reaching the limit before you need to re-verify". Apart from that, I've used WIREX most days in the last 18 months or so and other than the small ATM limit it's been good.

There are some exchangers who you can pay cash in their office in country A and receive cash from them in country B for some fees ( usually 3 % ) or you can buy stable crypto or virtual currencies like PM and Web Money to exchange for cash in destination country
Did some more googling.
Found this page: Customs Cash Limits: How Much Cash Can You Carry On A Plane
Now, i'm unsure if rules have changed recently, but to the best of my knowledge within UE there has never been such an "unlimited cash limit".
Where's the truth?
Edit: turns out it might be true: Who needs to declare? - Taxation and Customs Union - European Commission

Whats the worse that can happen if you get stopped with 50k eur in cash? If you have receipt from bank
Some infos there are not up to date or 100% accurate for some countries.
Some countries have no cash limit on Import or Export !!!!!
- Eu - USA and orther devellopped countries it is 100% Legal to leave you︀ country A with 50 or 100 ke so far you declare.
No bad happening :︁ you respect the rules => declaring + origin of funds + destination of funds (most︂ customs forms ask for : what is the purpose or destination of funds => what︃ will you do in country B with the cash).
It is purely a declaration information,︄ not a condition.
If a little bit anxious or parano :
Set up good logical︅ reason / story in accordance with you and the circunstances of your life, evntualy connexions,︆ projects , affinity with Country B.
Customs don't judge the reason you Export cash. They︇ want you to comply the declaring procedure.
If they are suspiscious and try to dig︈ => You, your wife, kid always stick to the same version even if the story︉ is strange, but must remain in accordance with your life.
Some Airlines companies had set︊ up 10ke cash limit to fly with them.
@erni : very truth what you wrote.︋ Cash is King in so many countries. Billion of people don't hold 1 bank account︌ : to expansive, they can't afford it.
In some countries it is even possible to︍ buy real estate 100% cash bank notes in front of the Notaris !

Are you︊ saying that one needs to declare also within EU? The page i linked says one︋ needs to declare entering or leaving EU.
So if you fly from malta to germany︌ with 100k€ or 1M€, according to that page, nobody is entitled to ask you or︍ tell you anything.
