The Exchange Control Rulings stipulate that funds brought into the country by a non-resident may be repatriated at any time, as well as any capital gain thereon after deduction of any Capital Gains Tax payable.
A new immigrant (that is, someone who has completed the Immigrant’s Declaration & Undertaking) may only repatriate funds introduced from abroad, and capital gains accruing thereon, within the first five years of the date of signature of such Declaration. Thereafter, such person will be bound by Exchange Control restrictions imposed on residents with respect to the repatriation of funds. |
