Anyways the only to get at official rate is to buy PTA, but there is a catch....Each person is entitled to around 4000 dollars per quarter, so everyone that has gotten PPR request, should buy their tickets asap (having a travel ticket is one of the major requirements for PTA) and buy some before March ending. Then again buy some more in the second quarter which starts April 1st. This is what I have tried to do and It has worked so far, for married folks, they can adopt the same strategy for each person. Now not all the banks are selling PTA from what I have gathered, but I am certain that Zenith (rationed at 2,500 instead of 4000 per quarter), Diamond, Stan Chart, Citi and Stanbic are selling PTA. Some banks will tell you they do not have dollar, please ask if they have the Euro and just buy, this can be changed to US CAD in any of the European countries (France, Germany, UK, Holland, even Turkey) when waiting for the connecting flights. that is my 2 cents
Thanks Layorh12. This info is appreciated. But do you think those of us awaiting MR can start buying? Or its for just those that have received PPR?
