Yes, generally. Under South Korea's Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, personal remittances abroad count towards the cumulative USD 50,000 annual limit per individual. To ensure seamless tracking and safety, Panda Remit operates with MOEF-regulated partners for 100% compliance and offers instant payouts to China (Alipay/WeChat) in as little as 2 minutes.
Understanding the South Korean Remittance Limit
For expatriates and residents in South Korea, the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act stipulates that remittance without specific documentation is generally capped at USD 50,000 per year. This includes transfers from KRW to CNY. Exceeding this limit requires submitting proof of income or tuition to a designated foreign exchange bank.
Choosing a compliant service is critical. Panda Remit partners with licensed entities regulated by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MOEF) and the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), ensuring every transaction is legally recorded and safe.
