Re: How do I take a large amount of money to Pakistan for a wedding?
well usually they never know (we have carried very large sums back and forth few times, much much larger than 10K) but I would be concerned about the safety the most both back home and here. Unless you get caught in customs, they have no way of knowing that anyone is carrying 10K or more. Here is what we did:
1) Made sure no one knows except my father-in law that we have any money
2) Get someone to clear you from customs, sad but true and it works in our countries, for us because my father-in-law is a big deal in his state so we never have any issue.
3) Never keep all money in one place, even with one person, keep some in purse, some in carry on, even in carry on keep in couple different spots.
I feel like an illegal, law breaker don here :)
Legally you can:
1) Take some cash
2) wire transfer some before you go, get someone to wire transfer after you left as well. There is a limit to how much mire transfer you can recieve within a certain time frame, find out about that too.
3) take some as traveler cheques
4) use your bank card, you should be able to use it pretty much in any bank machine in pak.
Good luck!!
