Hi VJ members from Pakistan,

I want to know how much cash in dollars can I carry from Islamabad airport. I want to know specifically from Pakistan because I heard there is a limit on the amount of cash you can carry from Pakistan. Please let me know, thank You.

Hi VJ members from Pakistan,

I want to know how much cash in dollars can I carry from Islamabad airport. I want to know specifically from Pakistan because I heard there is a limit on the amount of cash you can carry from Pakistan. Please let me know, thank You.

According to a quick google search your airport only allows you to carry $5000USD. The $10000 rule doesn't seem to apply to you.

Travelling to USA right? Maximum is upto $10,000

You're allowed to bring in any amount up to $10000USD without declaring it. As far as I know you can carry what you want, you just have to declare anything over $10000USD on your customs form. However, it's much safer to take a money order.

Before I travel to USA, I wired my money to my spouse's account. For me, that's safest. Good thing, we had an option in UK to wire money more than £250 without wire fee. Also, conversion rates apply. Watch the FOREX USD rates with your local currency.
