Its a bit simpler for me I suppose as I'm an SA resident working out of SA for a non-SA entity. I therefore had an opportunity to open a foreign personal bank account. SA never sees this money 'cause I fall under a different country's tax law. I'm not familiar enough to comment on SA residents wanting to move money offshore.
What comes to mind is possibly opening a business in the country you prefer holding funds in. There is more freedom to move SA money around as a business rather than as an individual. Having someone trustworthy in that country that can open the company for you as a shareholder then sets you on the path to SA money moving.
I'm not clued up as to moving money through unit trusts/mutual funds/ETFs/share mechanisms. Hopefully there's a few people more educated on the forum that could advise for this field of questions.
