Guys,

I seem to have an issue with forex.

A lil bit of background - I had to travel to Australia on an emergency basis (father was critically ill) and thankfully I got my PR grant in time. I booked my tickets and headed to Oz the very next day. I had no time to re-load my travel card with forex. I came back to India with my parents in 15-20 days.

Now, book my forex says as per RBI rules, once I've made the VALIDATION trip, I'm ineligible to apply for forex and can only look at bank to bank transfer. This situation has got me completely thrown.

Can anybody tell me how to work around this situation? I was caught completely off-guard and I need to carry at least 8000$ as I'm permanently moving now. Is bank transfer the only way out?

Hi guys,

Not sure if someone has already posted the info here, but lemme go ahead anyway.
So, for all those of you who move into an empty house with just two/three bags to start with, I would recommend Facebook Marketplace for furniture and electrical appliances.

If you spend sometime on understanding what works for you, you'll save 100's of dollars because things are affordable and sometimes you even get things free of cost. Do give it a try!

Cheers,
NM
