Question 3

Is the money I send to Somalia taxable?

Question 5

Are there limits on how much I can send to Somalia?

Accepted Answer

Yes, each provider sets its own per-transfer and annual sending limits, which depend on your verification level, the destination country's regulations, and anti-money-laundering rules in Kuwait. For most retail transfers under €/$2,000 the limits will not be a concern; larger amounts may require additional ID verification.
