Why do you need forex for international travel?

Since most countries do not accept Indian Rupees, travelers must obtain foreign currency, a prepaid travel card, or both before they leave.

Having the currency beforehand prevents paying those extra charges and, at the same time, avoids the problem of running out of money in a country you're not familiar with.

In addition, several countries require visa applicants to have foreign currency on hand as the submission of proof of available funds or a minimum cash balance is part of the application process.

Who needs foreign currency in Noida?

Anyone travelling abroad for a holiday, attending international conferences, or visiting clients can conveniently buy foreign currency in Noida before flying from Delhi NCR.

• Students who intend to go overseas for higher education need money for tuition, living expenses, and meet visa proof of ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌funds.
• Corporate employees travelling on official assignments who need forex arranged quickly through company billing.
• NRIs and visiting relatives converting INR before returning to their country of residence.
• Medical tourists and patients travelling abroad for treatment, who need currency cleared before the trip.

How much foreign currency will you need for your trip from Noida?

The amount depends on the destination, trip length, and purpose of travel.

• Short leisure trips (5-7 days): Most travellers carry enough for daily expenses, local transport, and emergencies, on top of card payments.
• Business trips: Often a smaller cash component, with the rest loaded onto a forex card for hotel and expense billing.
• Education-related travel: Larger amounts may be needed upfront for tuition deposits, security deposits, and first-month costs, usually split between cash, card, and bank transfer.

RBI permits Indian residents to carry foreign currency notes up to USD 3,000 per person per trip. Any additional forex required can be loaded onto a multi-currency travel card or sent through bank transfer, within the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) limit of USD 250,000 per financial year.

The LuLu Forex team at the Noida branch can work out the right cash-to-card split based on the destination and trip type.
