Bank Transfer

  1. Go to the Bank branch Larger and closer to the center of the city, the better; go to where you have a salary card if possible.

  3. Fill in the form online or offline Restrictions might be different from country to country, but usually it is possible to fill an online application form
  4. Transfer Currency – U.S. dollars. If you have RMB, you have to buy dollars first. This can be done in the same branch of the Bank without cashing them out, the dollars will simply be deposited to your Bank account. Important: There are lots of limitations for foreigners to exchange RMB into other currency, please keep it in mind.

Afterword

I’m not an expert on taxes, but remember that your country may have their own regulations on the subject of money transferring. For example, in my home country, a person is required to report about openning bank accounts abroad, and some foreign exchange transactions (sale of real estate, for example) generally are not permitted, and might lead to a huge fine.
