How to move cash from France to HK ? Like 100k EUR

You mean PHYSICAL cash? I don’t think that’s possible. The best (and safest) bet is‌ to use banks.

I heard some people doing maritime ships‍ and private flights

You’d still have to get in and out the countries, and go through authorities. Even‌ if HK let’s you come in with a bag full of cash, you’d still have‍ to get out of France. Last time I checked, customs don’t let people fly w/⁠ cash.

But, you can act like a baller, and tell that the cash is for⁤ a take-it-or-leave-it deal, but the cash have to be squeaky clean, and you have to⁣ provide a ton of documents and stuff.

How about gold⁢ bars ?

Even worse, since they might‌ think you’re there to flood the local gold market. Stick with the cash plan.

I discovered there's a way to fly from Switzerland to Hong Kong without checking cash‌

Buy BTC in France, Sell BTC in HK. Not cheap, but doable.

Leaving EU with 10k+ in cash you are obliged to declare this to customs.
However if you "forget" to do so you can easily leave France with 100k in 500eur‌ notes, especially if you have more luggage or traveling with family/group. I'm frequently traveling with‍ less cash but in 100eur notes (bigger physical volume) and no one ever cared.
Not sure about HK but they will hardly complain.

@Luganese HK has AML measures too but never heard them stopping money coming in.

Too bad, years ago I could have helped you (for a fee)
