Transferring Money from Maldives to their home is one of the basic requirement for the expatriates working in Maldives. I had written about Western Union few months ago which is one of the most popular and widely used by the expatriates in Maldives.

Today I was in Maldives post for some personal work and I could see lot of expatriates there sending money using Xpress Money which is similar method like the Western Union.

You can go the Maldives Post office which is near the Local Market. You need to just walk in and fill up the form to send money. You need to carry your work permit card in case of a Expatriate. You will receive a pin which you should inform the recipient of the money. The best way is to send an SMS. The recipient should go to a post office with an identity proof and collect the money. Its very simple and takes only minutes. The charges to send money to India is just US$ 8 for a maximum amount of US$ 3000.
