My country exchange control is the weirdest thing you have ever seen. They are quite comfortable with you importing all sorts of junk from overseas, and paying with your credit card (via PayPal), but receiving money is a problem. Quite the opposite from what one would expect to be rational.
EFT (Interbank Transfer) is probably the best, but there are high transaction costs, so it doesn't work for small amounts - you may have to pay between USD30 to USD50 per transaction, and a fee on this side. There will also be Exchange Control paperwork on this side, you should discuss that with the bank before you go.
But I’m glad that I have bitcoins because I can send bitcoins or received bitcoins in a flash and the transaction fees is very low. You even don’t have to show your identification card like you must do at your bank.
that's the advantage of using bitcoin, fast transactions, small fees, and wide transactions covering the whole world. this makes it easier for us to buy anything and everywhere.
I also ever use paypal, but the transaction takes a bit longer, when I want to take my money from paypal to local bank, that take up to 1 week, when the current bitcoin transactions to take money to the local bank just a few hours are over.
