Hi,

I plan to work as a freelancer for UK company. I will be working on their software project. I just googled and found receiving payments from foreign country is a risky business. RBI/FEMA/POLICE can harass etc.

Does anyone have any idea on this? Please express your opinion :!:

Dude, dont worry. Just make a account in Paypal and accept their payment. Ask them to pay you via paypal.

After getting the payment, just deposit your funds to your bank a/c. Simple process.

BTW, I too want to work as a freelancer, from which site you got the project?

after creating account in paypal you have to verify it before withdraws
you have to integrate your bank account or credit card with paypal

best of luck with freelancing :)

I am not sure about the exact limit but its certainly no $500, i personally used the free account to receive $1500 in one shot. The limit is around $4000 to $5000 i guess.

@clmlbx

Limit is not USD 500. It is much much higher, so no need to worry on normal payments.
