Safety tips

Use authorised money changers or bank forex counters — avoid street-level touts offering “best rates” as these are often scams. Count your money before leaving the counter and always get a receipt. ATMs are widely available in towns and tourist areas but can run out of cash during peak season weekends and holidays.

Things to carry

Passport or valid photo ID (required for currency exchange). A mix of cash and cards — smaller establishments, beach shacks, and local markets often only accept cash.

Travel tips & suggestions

Currency exchange is available at both Goa airports (arrival halls), at bank forex counters in Panaji, Margao, Mapusa, and at authorised money changers in tourist areas. Exchange rates at airports are typically less favourable than in town. ATMs accepting international cards (Visa, Mastercard) are common in towns but less so in beach villages — carry enough cash for a few days. Digital payments (UPI, PhonePe, Google Pay) are widely accepted at shops and restaurants across Goa.
