Will car dealers in Nepal accept debit cards or credit cards from USA. I wana swipe the amount around 30k to buy a car in Nepal or do i have to have only Nepal bank cards or cheques?

You can withdraw money from your BoA card from any ATM in Nepal to pay for the car.

३० हजार डलर ATM मेसिनले ओकल्न कती चोटि धाउनु पर्ला ? एकदिनमा १ हजार $ को हिसाबले महिना दिन नै लाग्ने रहेछ ?

You can increase the withdrawal limit per day. I don't know if it applies for withdrawal outside the US though.

I have used my credit card in hotels in Nepal. While debit cards usually have limit of 500-1000 per day, so that may take 30 days to fully pay for your car as Logan mentioned above. 😁 Last edited: 14-Sep-21 07:33 PM

Very unlikely dealers in nepal to accept such $30k transaction on a card, an apparel purchase or a dinner is a different story. I remember Himalayan or Nabil banks ATM allowing only Rs 10,000 (~$100) at a time using by bank of america debit card. If that's the general policy in Nepal, lots of swiping n lots of days. The best is to transfer that large sum to a Nepalese bank account and withdraw any amount from that bank.

You can do wire transfer from your account here to your or someone's bank account in Nepal. There will be a fee for wire transfer but cash is transferred.

I say let the car dealer figure it out if they want your business. They are the ones who is getting 30k paid! If they don't take a forgeign credit card, I would think that you should be able to wire money to the dealers's account without bringing any third party in between. BOA charges forgein transaction fees I think. Get the card that doesn't charge foregein transaction fee. For e.g. Chase Amazon card doesn't have foregein transaction fee. That will save you 3%. I saw in the news few months ago that Nepal is waving import tax on electric vehicles that is whooping 200% import tax savings!
