I would suggest your friend to use forex card like Niyo global, or debit card that offers zero markup fees like FI, Indusind bank Signature exclusive, etc.
if you need turkey currency note, try bookmyforex.com or get that from airport, but charges are high at airport.

What about abroad are you certain no charges?

What about abroad are you certain no charges?

Forex charges means Foreign transaction charges So basically that's your answer and for atm withdrawals there are charges outside India and moreover its not worth it to withdraw money as the foreign bank charges fees for using their atm machines so nah just use RBL World Safari Credit card best for me till now and if you need 0% forex charges on debit card i will say go with Fi Money Debit card or NiyoX not Niyo Global (remember Niyo Global is not working for me neither their transactions show to me in their app nor it works on all atms ) but for NiyoX i was given account with Equitas bank (they even call me to confirm that you did this atm transaction in this country so better NiyoX )or you can also go with Jupiter whichever you like.


I like RBL World Safari Credit Card for me and NiyoX or Fi Debit card but for most i use RBL World Safari Card

For short trips to Turkey, a multi-currency virtual card such as vizovcc works well — it supports TRY payments, offers 0–1% FX markup, and can be topped up instantly in USD/EUR. It’s safer than carrying cash and cheaper than exchanging at the airport. If physical cash is needed, withdraw limited TRY at local ATMs to avoid high network fees.
