Moving to Portugal - Moving of Financial Assets

An import/export declaration is required when moving financial assets in amounts exceeding  a specific limit. 

If you want to transfer a large sum of money between banks in EU you may be asked to provide certain details for statistical reasons. The same applies if you want to use intermediaries, other than a bank, as for instance the post offices financial services.
