Bringing cash!

[akosicute11]

Hi Just a question regarding cash taking into the philippines. I will traveling to Heathrow airport next year, Is it allowed to bring £2000 pounds notes without checking my bag? Thank you

Just to clarify are you flying from Heathrow to the Philippines or from the Philippines into Heathrow?

From Heathrow to the Philippines:)

You're allowed to take up to the equivalent of 10,000 Euros out of the UK without having to declare it and up to the equivalent of $10,000 into the Philippines without declaration, so you should be fine :smile:

I don't think you will have a problem with the cash limit but be careful in Philippine Airports lots of horrible stories going in there.
Spread your cash , put some in your wallet/in your bag/in your trousers front pocket/in your sunglasses case.

Good advice. I do that everyday whenever I leave home. Even though I only carry small amounts. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Even in my shoes :icon_lol:

I learnt from Fred. :wink:

You can carry up to equivalent of 7000 dollars cash without declaring it, the wife and I carried £7000 cash between us when we moved here from the Philippines!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Maybe they've changed it recently Arthur, the government link below states 10,000 Euros :xxgrinning--00xx3:

.................................................... :yeahthat:'s certainly what the link states ... :iagree:. And 10,000 Euro doesn't equate to £10,000 sterling. Not yet, anyway!

But I'm surprised the British Government site has based its calculation on the European unit of currency - as opposed to our own - it strikes me as ANOTHER :censored: indication of how much we're dominated by the EU, sadly. :bigcry:

Unlike the Euro or US Dollar, Sterling is not considered to be a major currency here and therefore doesn't rate a mention.

Which is strange, as anyone who understands the currency markets knows that the GBP is regarded as much safer and far superior to the EUR.

I carried around £8000 last december in my pockets,put my jacket through the X-RAY at Heathrow no problems.
