Hi

I am hearing two different stories.  I would appreciate some feedback.

I just started work in Libya.

I have two bank accounts in Canada - one personal and one corporate.

My employer has told me Libyan banks are not allowed to transfer money to banks outside of Libya - thus they can only pay me cash.
Yet, I have read on the internet it is ok as it is not over the money laundering limit.

** Any other expats here wish to comment? **

Hello, I also have a question regarding bank transfer from Libya to our Canadian bank.We have accepted a teaching position in Tripoli and would like to transfer our salary to Canada. Can you guys guide us with this procedure. Please and Thank you.

Your employer has to give you a letter that you bring to the bank. Amman bank does transfers. All you need is to have your Canadian banking information-SORT, bank account number etc. Just ask your bank for that before you go. It all has to be set up from Libya once you arrive.  Just make sure from your school that they will do this for you. Otherwise you will be earning Libyan dinar & having to exchange it in country then send it out Western Union...which is another kettle of fish.  Western Union has limits on amounts send out at one time and per year.  Good luck!
