This time I think Macron will win. The history will happen again like her father.

Hey guys, can I ask a question? Anyone familiar with Interactive Brokers (IB) or any US brokers here?
I am planning to study Master in one of four countries Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan or Philippines (courses taught in English). I may want to trade US stock while studying too.

I have experiences in trading US stock with IB in Vietnam. I know almost any step to open an account already. The problem is the ease of funding and transferring money back to the country (here is Malaysia).

In Vietnam, that was not easy and I had to fund (transfer) the money secretly (through a secret service) to my US account.
Working with the bank would be complicated, they didn't even understand what I am talking about, they would consider it an investment and I have to write many forms and declare statement and purpose blah blah blah... Transferring money back would be easy because they (VN) want money in but not out.

So I wanna ask: Is it easy here to fund money to the US account and is it easy to transfer money back to the local account? I assume anyone here is Malaysian. But if you can answer me the same question for Taiwan, Philippines and Thailand. I will be thankful for that!

I will come as non-Malaysian and international student from VN :D. So, it is easy to transfer money in and out Malaysia without problem? Ah, 'in' I mean transfering money back from the US to Malaysia, and "out" I mean transfering money from Malay to US

Actually, Macron is pro-business (Trump) and more right-wing in economics policies. I agree that Macron win will boost market overall. If Le Pen wins somehow, not sure how market will react, but one thing is for sure, EUR will go down.
