Re: India Intermediary bank charges for money transfer

Happened to me too while sending GBP to USD from HSBC to HSBC via Wise. HSBC have an intermediary bank they don't mention, charging $25. Probably the same charge for you.

Re: Anybody Currently Teaching in a British School, UAE.

I'm not in your specific area of the teaching game, but I was in the UAE for twenty years. You're looking at a top-end salary of about 20,000AED a month, I think.

Re: Opinion on AD salary package

I think, as a rule, the basic should be about two-thirds of your total monthly take-home pay, but this may be changing. I don't mean to put you off, by the way. I don't regret my time spent in the...

Re: Opinion on AD salary package

Having just left after a long time in the sandpit, doing something similar to yourself in the large vocational college system, I can say that as long as your wife gets some work, you'll be fine on...

Re: Flying from NL to UK

Hi RWF. Well, we're here now in the UK. There doesn't seem to be any real teeth to the checking, though you do have to declare on a form where you have been and where you will stay and with whom. But...

Flying from NL to UK

Hi there,
Has anyone done this recently? May be a silly question, but since NL is on UK's quarantine list, does that mean if we visited we would have to stay a minimum of the 14 days of...

Re: Shipping companies Doha

We've just flown to Europe with four boxes approx 75x45x35 and four big cases, for three people. Excess cost was about 2000 AED. It's scary but doable. Just buy lots of tape and bubble wrap in C4!

Re: Shipping cargo from Riyadh to London

Are you going back soon yourself? It would be comparable price-wise to take it as extra baggage on the flight with you.

Re: Advice On Transferring Money/FX
