I’m very much not a lawyer but I gather there are laws against avoiding declaring large movements of money by splitting it up. So you probably can do multiple batches by moneygram but you’ll still want to fill in a customs declaration… somehow. Hopefully a more knowledgable poster will show up in a moment to say something more useful.

UK end happy to declare it, situation is not avoiding laws but TT is simply too slow.

Also not to state the obvious but have you contacted moneygram for advice?

[Ozinasia]

yes they said please contact the sending and receiving banks for their policy.
Policy varies country to country.
UK at bank now ... fingers crossed

I’d advise against doing stuff that will look like trying to circumvent the law.

Agree 100%. Don't make it look that way. The different recipients are for each account. Each account has a different Account Holder. Might be a little more effort initially (the transfer accounts take a minute or 2 to set up), but if a large sum is sent there will probably be delays with verification: Proof of source of funds, for one.

It is all above board by the sounds of things, and there is nothing illegal with what I suggest, and it is urgent, evidently.

I sent a similar amount here from the UK recently. Send from your UK Bank to Transferwise (to change to US$) and then to a bank here. Easy, and nobody askes any questions. Do it over a couple of days if it makes you sleep easier, but it's not needed.

Getting more here is easy, sending £25k BACK to the UK from here may be more of a problem as Cambodia is on a grey list for money laundering.
