Hello all,

I have a question that bothers me: I plan on taking a cash amount of more than 10000 Euro with me from EU country to Spain. If I am correct, I need to declare this amount when entering Spain.

OF COURSE: the money is legal and I will carry with me proofs of its origin (Bank).

So, am I right that also in going through EU I need to declare in Spain?

My fear is what happens in the customs? Did anyone else did that? How does it work? Did you meet any problems in the customs?

Thanks for any info!

Yes you have to declare anything over 10,000€. https://wise.com/gb/blog/taking-cash-in-or-out-of-spain

I don't have any experience of taking over 10 000 euro in cash into Spain.

As you are quite correctly going to declare it I can see anything out of the ordinary ( which this is ) causing a problem at Customs.

You might also have problems doing anything with that vast amount of cash in Spain when you come to use it.

Actually these days it seems a very bizarre & very dangerous thing to be doing.

Can you not use a currency company to move the money for you ?
