Hi ,
In earlier posts we had read that how one of our Indian friend and his
family suffered a lot due to unexpected medical emergency situation
and how they face problem to arrange the money in this case. Such kind
of emergency lack of money situation may occur with anybody
unexpectedly. To handle such a unexpected situation I would like to
ask:
1. Is it possible to request money from India ? ( Not hand carried by
a person from India )
2. How is should be done ?
3. If we had a Bank account here , is it possible to transfer from
bank in India to bank over here ( Thai Banks ) ?
4. If its possible , then how many days it can take to debit in the
bank here ?
5. Officially how much maximum amount can transfer ?
Regards ,
S.v Resident

Western Union or money gram....although a bit expensive than normal
bank to bank transaction, makes sure money reaches the receiver with
in minutes anywhere in the world. At least during any sort of
emergency, it can be used.
Hope it helps.

HI
It is recommended any NRI to have a NRE Savings a/c in India . Also if you are a regular money sender to India from any where in the world then advise always keep somemoney in USDollars as FCNR . Irrespective of this deposit for 1 yr or more , in case of emergency any where in the world , you can close this FCNR deposit & transfer the whole FCNR amt within 24hrs fromIndia ( yr a/c) to yr a/c anywhere in the world provided you have a/c with good private banks in India like Citibank , HSBC , ICICI, HDFC etc. Make a habit of first sending to India regularly any amt . so that this can be brought back when reqd . This is true & I have done this many times by using the amt in India whenever reqd . or transferred to Singapore for use there . For further clarifications can personally contact me .
All the best

Hi,
Better open an NRI account by which you will have
1.NRE account (External, should be deposited from overseas in other
currency)
2. NRO account (Others, should be deposited in india only by rupees)
For both the options you will have ATM cards which is affiliated by
Cirrus or Cashnet that means you can withdraw cash from any ATM where
you see these logos.
NRE account, you can withdraw cash from india and cash in any country
in their local currency.
NRO account you can only withdraw cash from India as Rupees.
However both these account can be linked if you have internet banking
for NRI account (Example: Citibank).
Bangkok Bank provides internet banking link direct from your Bangkok
Bank account to Any one bank in india, but this transfer takes about 3
days and there is little bit currency loss in exchange.
Getting this NRI account will take about 7 to 15 days time, I know guys
from Citibank Singapore to whom I could refer you to.

Nirmal

A small correction on Mr. Nirmal's post..
NRO account can be opened / operated from foreign also.
NRO is better than NRE in the way we can deposit INR amounts in India
also!
I am not sure about the procedure of bringing money from India to
Thailand. Whereas if you have NRO / NRE account with ICICI, you can
make a international funds transfer to your ICICI account using
Money2India quickly and fastly.
You've to create an account in money2india (ICICI bank's website) and
create a initiate a fund transfer to your account. In this case just
create the process stating that you are in USA.
You'll get a referrence number.
Just visit any Bangkok Bank or Kasikorn bank and make a telegraphic
transfer (T/T) to ICICI Bank's New York address (which will be
provided while you are initiating the transfer in the ICICI website).
In the referrence area, don't forget to put the M2I (Money to India)
referrence number. With in next working day, you will get the funds in
your account. Normally if I make the transfer in Bangkok by 2.30 PM,
the money get credited in my ICICI account on the next day by noon.

NRO means Non Residents Ordinary/Others (The source of income from your
rent or interest or property or lease or dividends or share in india
.... from india can only be deposited in rupess)
I am 100% sure as I am using it and I cannot deposit any currency apart
from rupees and cannot deposit from anywhere (Only india)
You may check with Citi bank, as I am using it.
You cannot compare both NRE and NRO, 2 different purposes.

The whole point of this thread is...
How to request money from India to Overseas in case of Emergency...
and NOT from Overseas to India like we expats mostly care for...
I see that others have answered to this... already..
And, one key tip will be... it certainly helps knowing someone in the
country of your visit in case of emergency.. not necessarily a direct
friend.. even friend of a friend... will be great too.. so before you
pack up going to a new place.. it will be better to research this (and
make a note in the back of your mind) even though you may not really
need to contact them..
