Travel/Forex Cards

At Mythri Forex, we make international travel payments more convenient with reliable travel and forex card services for customers travelling abroad. A forex card allows you to carry and spend foreign currency electronically instead of relying entirely on physical cash or your domestic debit card. We assist customers with both new forex card issuance and reloading existing forex cards through leading forex-card providers such as Thomas Cook, EbixCash, and other available card providers. We focus on three things that matter most to travellers: fast service, competitive charges, and attractive exchange rates for loading your forex card.

1. 1

   Choose your forex card

   Choose a new forex card from providers such as Thomas Cook, EbixCash, and others, or request a reload of an existing card where supported.

2. 2

   Tell us your currency requirement

   Tell us the currency and amount you want to load onto your card.

3. 3

   Submit your documents

   Our team verifies your passport, PAN card, visa, flight tickets, and other applicable documents.

4. 4

   Confirm the exchange rate and charges

   The amount required to load your card is calculated using the applicable exchange rate along with the applicable forex markup and GST.

5. 5

   Make the payment

   Use the applicable payment methods supported for the transaction, subject to the same payment requirements applicable to the forex transaction.

6. 6

   Receive or reload your card

   Once verification and payment are completed, the new forex card is issued or your existing card is reloaded.

• What forex card services does Mythri Forex offer?

  We assist customers with both new forex card issuance and reloading existing forex cards through leading providers such as Thomas Cook and EbixCash, supporting popular currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, and SGD.

• What is the maximum amount that can be loaded onto a forex card?

  A card load draws on the same Liberalised Remittance Scheme entitlement as a currency purchase, up to USD 250,000 in a financial year, combined across all permitted purposes. Because physical foreign currency is capped at the equivalent of USD 3,000 per traveller, counting notes and coins together, a larger travel budget is usually loaded onto the card rather than carried as cash. Card-provider loading limits, documentation, and transaction eligibility also apply.

• How long does it take to get a forex card issued or reloaded?

  Our target is to complete forex-card issuance or loading within one hour, subject to complete documentation, card/provider availability, currency availability, successful payment, and required verification.

• Should I carry a forex card or foreign currency cash for my trip?

  Both have a place, and many travellers carry a mix of the two. A forex card lets you spend electronically without carrying large amounts of physical cash, can be reloaded if you need more funds while abroad, and is useful for card-accepting merchants, hotels, and online bookings. Foreign currency cash is better for smaller everyday spends, destinations or vendors that don't accept cards, tipping, and situations where you want funds in hand immediately without depending on card networks or ATMs. Mythri Forex offers both services at all three branches, so you can decide the mix that suits your travel plans and load or purchase accordingly.
