    Hello everyone,

    I'm planning to migrate to the Netherlands this August. Some people have advised me to bring a working debit card that functions internationally. However, I couldn't find any Sri Lankan cards without government taxes and stamp fees.

    Few indian guys mentioned me that they have options like Niyo Global and Fi Money forex cards, which come with zero forex markup fees.

    Does any of you know of similar options or alternatives that I can use? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank You.

    Payoneer card is a viable option. As soon as sri lanka bank finds about your visa they will hold the card and will say it is per central bank regulations.

    As soon as you go there open a bank account and get a debit card.

    Thank you for the input brother, can I transfer my money to Payoneer from my local bank? Is it as safe as our local banks? What if they ban my account? Recently, I tried to create a Revolut account. They asked me for passport verification, and as soon as I did that, they banned my account for no apparent reason. I'm afraid this might happen again. A guy I know who's doing dropshipping also said that his Payoneer account got banned without any reason.

    You can't transfer money to Payoneer from a Sri Lankan bank. In fact, you can't transfer Sri Lankan currency to any service le Wise, Rvolut, etc.

    The easiest option is Bitcoin or USDT.

    I'm not sure if they ban new accounts. My account is 5 yeas old. I used services from facebook who sell payoneer dollar and purchased around 5000$ total but everytime i did small amounts like 400$ 500$ per transfer

    Thank you, brother. It might be that your account is old, or perhaps other people are using their Payoneer accounts for dropshipping and other online businesses, which could be why they're getting banned everytime.
