Hey Sohail

I saw your query in the blog re money transfer from Angola to Pakistan. I am just curious to know if you have found a way out.

I used to work for a company in UAE but headquartered in Angola. After my resignation, they transferred my end of service benefits into a friend's account in Angola upon my request due to capital transfers restriction.

My money is still stuck there and I am looking desperately to find a way out to get my money.

Please let me know if you have found a way out.

Thanks a million & Wassalam!

How much are you looking at transferring out?

I might need to be transfered about 8000 dollars on monthky basis.

Transferring money from Angola to a different country is a nightmare at the moment. Changing Kwanzas to USD is very difficult.

To change money with the bank you need an airline ticket- they failed to do it the last 3 times for me...  So that just leaves changing it on the street which in Luanda is 100kws = 2.2 USD I think - expensive!

I know people who have families outside of Angola and are having to send cash money with people traveling in order to get the money to their families..

People are managing to send money out via the bank but it's very difficult... As far as I know Western Union is still closed in Angola...
