Remit Money from India to United Arab Emirates with BookMyForex
The UAE is home to one of the largest Indian expatriate communities in the world, with over 3.5 million Indians living and working across the country. From Dubai and Abu Dhabi to Sharjah and Al Ain, Indians form the largest expatriate group and play a vital role in the UAE’s economy across construction, technology, healthcare and finance.
For many Indians, the UAE is a primary employment destination rather than a settlement one. Tax-free salaries, proximity to India and strong demand for skilled and semi-skilled labour attract workers from every Indian state. Dubai and Abu Dhabi draw professionals in IT, banking and engineering, while Sharjah and the Northern Emirates have large communities of blue-collar workers.
These ties make sending money to the UAE one of the highest-volume remittance corridors from India. Whether supporting family expenses, covering visa costs, funding a business or handling emergencies, the need to transfer money in AED arises frequently.
BookMyForex helps you send money to the UAE with better rates, faster processing, and complete transparency at every step.

My forex request was expedited and processed within just one day, which was truly impressive. It's rare to see such prompt service and genuine customer focus.
What stood out most was the lightning-fast delivery, my card arrived much earlier than expected! Loading foreign currency was easy, and the exchange rates were very competitive.

Booked it last night, got the delivery before mid-day today. Have never seen a better delivery than this before!
The delivery partner was very helpful and accommodative. I wasn't in town but he called to ensure that he delivers the card as soon as I'm in my designated location. No fuss at all.
