How to Move Savings Abroad When Relocating from Nigeria

Relocating means moving the savings you have built — and doing it cleanly, within the rules, and without losing a chunk to a poor rate. The exchange rate and the documented channel are what matter most. This is general guidance, not legal or financial advice.

The routes

• Dom account and transfer — hold FX, then move it; see the dom account guide.
• Documented bank transfer — with proof of source and purpose.
• An FX partner — to convert at a market-based rate.

Doing it right

Keep records of where the money came from, respect any limits, and plan conversions rather than doing one rushed lump — the dollar-cost-averaging thinking. This pairs with the japa money guide and proving funds for your visa.
