I have a bank account in Italy and I want to transfer some money from there to my UK bank account. I have done this before but the bank, as I understand, are telling me that the rules have changed and I need to visit the bank! As i dont plan to visit for over a year this is a problem as I owe a company in Italy some money. Can anyone shed any light on this or offer some advice.thanks

Italian banks do seem to be more 'customer unfriendly' these days.As you have to pay an Italian company, can you not send them a cheque [from your Italian bank account], and if there isn't enough there, make it up with a transfer from your UK acount.?[It seems odd to transfer cash from Italy to the UK to pay a firm back in Italy - it would just add to the costs]
