Wise and Revolut don’t need you to be there for example, not sure about the cons
When I tried Wise they didn't allow people who are residents from the country I am from (even if you have an EIN). That might have changed so I'll take a look.
Wise I believe does work. I just wanted to keep my account as I've been using.
Thanks, I think your answers are the best. Enjoy the bounty 💰

I have used Wise to send money from USA to another country. Never had a problem. Their name used to be Travel Wise.

Travel? I think it was TransferWise, or was Travel before Transfer?

You are correct
Transfer Wise!
Not travel wise which is a terrible name

it would have make sense too

Sounds good. So you can withdraw to your own bank overseas but don't have a debit card? I don't apply for debit card ownership based on their countries.

I'm glad it helps. In case there are also alternative to those two, smaller and less regulated companies maybe make it easier to get things done. Keep us posted!
