Question, if anyone can help me here, I'd appreciate it.
Up until recently, my family and I, who all live in Australia, have owned an apartment in Belarus (long story) that we have been renting out to others for many years. We recently sold this property, and have paid the tax for the selling of the property. All has been done legally and with full documentation to show ownership and bills paid. However, we want to transfer the money from the Belarus bank account to an australian bank account, but the bank in belarus that we use (technobank) has informed us that they cannot transfer the money to an overseas account due to sanctions or something like that (war in Russia affecting things like banking in Belarus as well with the rest of the world), and when asked for an alternative, they said to transfer the money physically, which has its own set of problems I want to avoid entirely, and I would consider a dangerous choice.
Is there another method of accomplishing this task whilst avoiding difficulties like sanctions interfering with monetary transfers between international accounts? What options are available to me OUTSIDE of carrying physical money? Would paypal work? Or do I need to start researching cryptocurrency like USDC and how all that stuff works to do this?
The money I have in the bank right now was exchanged from Belarus dollars to USD, if that is important.
I'm just trying to make sure that I have a few methods of doing this before I travel to Belarus so that there's no chance of any failure of transfer between myself and family back home, so in case one fails, I have at least a few backup options.
Thank you for any advice.
