Savings by pmayerob

Will be soon moving to Cuba for work reasons. Will it be possible to take out your savings to your country of origin. In other words are you allowed to transfer your salary to your home bank account ? Thanks

MariO

If the company hiring you can open a bank account like at the banco Metropilitano for you because if you dont have the cuban residency you cant open an account anymore. And also you have to check if your bank can. Hasta siempre! Read More
