    You'll get a better response in Business/Economy/Finance forum.... I'm going to move this thread there.

    You'll be able to leave your account open here without an issue.

    International payments can vary - but you can be looking at anything up to ten working days. As for the cost..well, it'll depend on differing circumstances..give your branch a shout.

    Add to the above, you'll need every bit of information about both banks/accounts to do it. Int'l and Swift codes, bank branch address as well as normal account details. Check the costs both ends as it may be cheaper to send Euros and have your NZ bank convert rather than have BOI send NZ currency. If it's not a significant amount, it may well be easier and cheaper (and definitely faster) to just take the cash.
