How can I get a postal order or cheque in British Pounds from outside of the UK?
Is there an online service where you can order valid cheques in pounds or a Royal Mail postal order from outside of the UK (more precisely in Belgium)?
I need a cheque or a postal order in pounds because the UK visas and immigration department lists these as the only acceptable forms of payments for a freedom of information request.
Best Answer
Most banks will provide cheques or money orders in foreign currencies for an appropriate fee, assuming you have an account with them. I have sent Sterling (GBP) cheques from my Canadian bank on many occasions. They would do it for most other currencies too.
This service also appears to provide money orders in Belgium, with the option to receive GBP in the UK, although not online.
