There is no legal limit and no tax on sending your own money abroad.
Main hard limits come from your bank or money transfer company, often around £10,000 to £25,000 online (which you can usually increase in the app).
Also, the "£10,000 declaration" only applies to physically carrying cash through the border, not online transfers.
And on bigger GBP/AOA transfers (roughly £10,000 up) expect a source-of-funds check, such as a payslip or a statement.
That's anti-money-laundering checks, but it holds transfers up, so be prepared.
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending Kz1,811,432.7 with MoneyGram will get you 1,811,432.7 AOA, that’s including £4.99 fee and 2.77% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you Kz0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
