A heads up for anyone coming to any of EU countries for the EPT, WSOP europe etc.
A new law came into effect form June 17th that similar to the US you must declare any cash you are carrying above 10k Euros (about $12-13k). There are forms dependanty on which country you are entering the EU, the UK form can be downloaded and filled in before you arrive.
Be aware on leaving you must also fill in another form thats providing you were a winner and still have 10k plus. This also means if you travel into France you will need a french form but if you leave form the UK will need a UK one.
Here is a link that details it all and has links to the various member states forms, it also has a lovely musical theme that I cant work out how to turn off.
