Hi all,

I've got a hypothetical one for you.

Assuming that a house has been sold and all taxes have been paid including any capital gains accrued, would it be possible to send said funds to any account in the UK via SWIFT bank transfer?

I ask this because my wife doesn't yet have a bank account in the UK and the funds (from house and land sale) would be going to a foreigner's (my) account. I see legal wranglings here.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Ta.

My understanding is that the Thai authorities are interested in the fact that the money was legally brought in to Thailand initially.

They do not like money leaving the country .However once they accept that the money will leave the country then I suspect that they do not care where it' ends up'. The authorities where the money 'ends up' will only be concerned that the money came from a legitimate source.
