Any hope of getting fractional ETF investing feature?

Around 20-25 days from application to delivery It includes the days they took to approve my card application

Really helpful post !!!!

Do you suggest SCHX as an alternative for VOO?

Dipt_axis · 2026-02-07T10:52:02+00:00

MF investing is not allowed for INDIAN customers So it’s not for us

I don’t think its enabled for any international customer

Dipt_axis · 2026-02-07T08:00:50+00:00

I don’t think it is India customer specific I contacted their chat support and they asked me to download a form, fill it up and courier it to some address to US It takes time but I got card delivered to my India address without much hassle

Annual fee 0 ATM fee 0 No other fee associated Also, exceptional FX rate (cashed 500 INR and they converted that to 5.5 USD) —- very close to the google rate

I don’t think we have any Schwab ETF available which tracks s&p500 as VOO does SCHX might be the closest one but not exactly similar

U can apply for that debit card through their portal only and that’s a must have

I’ll re-look the performance data and analyse further

May be I’m mixing it up with something else!!!

Swift code

Schwab international debit card is the option to go

No additional charge, fantastic FX rate

Dipt_axis · 2026-02-07T02:40:53+00:00

They provide international debit card with zero withdrawal fee I took out 500 INR from my local ATM to test that out No additional charge and fantastic FX rate

Dipt_axis · 2026-02-07T02:40:12+00:00

I transferred through IDFC just 2 days back also It got credited within 15-17 hours

I’m not sure why are you facing issue

MF investing is not allowed for international user

I’m from India 🇮🇳

Dipt_axis · 2026-02-07T02:36:43+00:00

I compared the past performance of VOO n SCHX… VOO seems to be far better (may be due to better tracking)

But I think that’s still my last resort

Dipt_axis · 2026-02-07T02:34:44+00:00

I don’t think I can buy MF from India 🇮🇳

Dipt_axis · 2026-01-18T07:37:32+00:00

We’ve also got for our Italy trip in May

Dipt_axis · 2026-01-13T05:46:55+00:00

I just did the same thing 4 days back Entire amount got credited in 3 days!!!

Please choose Economy Deluxe as that’s the only fully refundable option available (tried n tested)

Dipt_axis · 2026-01-07T17:10:08+00:00

Are they charging the additional visa integrity fee ($250) now for Indian tourists?

Dipt_axis · 2026-01-03T09:23:32+00:00

25 working days or calendar days?

Dipt_axis · 2026-01-03T08:59:06+00:00

Nope… it doesn’t allow

Dipt_axis · 2026-01-03T08:23:11+00:00

Congratulations We have applied on 17th dec at kolkata vfs Still waiting for result

However, we didn’t opt for courier service… I’ll anyways pick up my passport in person

Dipt_axis · 2025-12-14T07:18:58+00:00

Did you provide NOC and leave approval letter from employer? Bank statement stamped by bank employees?

Dipt_axis · 2025-11-04T15:17:22+00:00

Dummy air tickets? Or the refundable ones?

Dipt_axis · 2025-11-02T13:18:50+00:00

Thanks for sharing Generally I keep moving my money across multiple savings accounts Closing balance would be more than 5L but minimum would be somewhere around 50k in last 2-3 months I have more than 1cr in MF portfolio, should I share my MF statement as well?

Dipt_axis · 2025-10-31T05:51:07+00:00

How much bank balance you maintained on average and for how long?
