Hi guy's,
Is there rules on how I can wire transfer money to my wife? I'm currently sending money to her via her ex boss USD bank account. I've done this a few times now. Maybe 4 times in 3 years. I just sent another wire transfer two weeks ago. Successful transaction. I've kept all the receipts, whatsapp messages between my wife and I about the wire transfer and she also taken picture of the money to show me. I'm hoping to use these as evidence that I do support my wife. But I'm not sure is this the right way to proceed.
The official exchange rate in Venezuela is so bad now and if I wire transfer money to my wife's account. I think the local bank in Venezuela will take more than 50% of the money as service fees or I'll lose a lot money due to the exchange rate. So in this case, the exboss gives my wife USD Cash and she finds a buyer to take advantage of the black market rate vs official rate.
Do you think, if I give this type of explanation is acceptable?
I gave her money two times when I went to see her Panama City, Argentina and Lima Peru. But I was a little hesitant and paranoid to take pictures of the money cause someone might rob us either its in hotel or on streets. I'm going to see her again in Lima, peru in the fall and will give her money and avoid all those bank fees. Yes of course I can take pictures of her holding the money I give her this time. But is that actually a reasonable way of doing it? I feel like CIC wants to see the transfer receipt and also the received receipt.
