Approval of capital transfers overseas and cash withdrawal shall be carried out by the banks themselves. Carrying up to €2,000 worth of any currency is allowed for individuals when travelling abroad. Foreign nationals are exempt from this restriction. A person accompanying someone going abroad for treatment is allowed to withdraw from a bank account and take up to € 2,000 overseas.

Receiving cash, regardless of the currency, against cheques or letters of credit is disallowed. Such funds should be credited to a bank account, which is subject to the existing restrictions on withdrawals.
 The daily limit of €60 per person, or a total of €420 per week, will remain.
