Urgent remittance issues in Maldives for Pakistanis

Ahsan Shahzad

We, the undersigned Pakistani expatriates working in the Maldives, respectfully request a practical solution to enable us to send our salaries to Pakistan through official banking channels. Although the official exchange rate is approximately MVR 15.42 per US Dollar, expatriates are generally unable to purchase US Dollars from local banks. As a result, we are forced to buy Dollars from the parallel market at much higher rates (currently around MVR 21 per USD), causing significant financial loss

It is submitted that this loss to the hard earned money is what would otherwise be remitted to Pakistan. Hence in combination and continuation, it becomes an incremental loss to Pakistan. This issue may be taken up as top priority to help the great cause of helping the struggling economy of Pakistan.

We, the Pakistani consultant and non consultant doctors and other Pakistani workers serving in the Republic of Maldives, ask you to intervene immediately and help us end the financial crisis caused by the current remittance restrictions. We are paid in Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR), but this money cannot be transferred directly to Pakistan or converted into Pakistani Rupees (PKR). To support our families back home, we must first convert our earnings into US Dollars (USD). The problem is that local ba

This is a waste of our hard-earned money. We cannot tolerate this. We request you to take some good step regarding this and find a solution to this problem. Without this, there is no other option.

We are facing significant difficulties with the current remittance limit. Dollar 500 is too low and causes unnecessary inconvenience. Kindly consider increasing the limit to Dollar-1,000 to make the process easier for everyone. Thank you.

A country literally run by remittances, is not facilitating smooth remittance transfer. We have to go through the black markets where we lose 25% of our money.

Mansoor Ahmed

I am signing this petition to urge the Government of Pakistan and OEC to address the MVR-to-USD remittance issue faced by Pakistani healthcare workers in the Maldives. A significant portion of our hard-earned salaries is lost to the black market simply to obtain US dollars to support our families in Pakistan. We request an official, affordable, and transparent remittance mechanism so overseas healthcare professionals can send their earnings home without suffering unnecessary financial losses.

Waqas Ahmed

Before coming in maldives, candidate must know about black market and minimum 30-40% loss of salary in MVR to USD transfer. Although work life balance is much better. But overall take home amount is very less as compare to they post while giving adds for jobs.
