Three to six months to move money out
Profit repatriation is permitted but procedural — and treasury plans built on “next month” assumptions fail, sometimes at the worst moment.
The wrong assumption: “We'll wire profits back next month.”
Repatriation requires audited financials and a tax-clearance certificate, followed by bank and SAFE steps. In practice, budget three to six months.
The right approach: Plan your treasury calendar around the actual repatriation cycle, keep the documentation current, and start the process early rather than when cash is needed.
