Where to Buy International Visa Gift Cards & Visa Prepaid Cards

Visa logo on a card

International Visa gift cards and Visa prepaid cards are great for traveling abroad, as they eliminate the need for cash or credit cards. They also come in handy when sending funds to friends and family overseas.

You can find the details for international use on the back of each card.[1] Knowing where to purchase them is also helpful, as you won’t find international Visa gift cards or prepaid cards at most retailers.

However, there are a few options to consider. Below, I explain policy details for each option, including restrictions, card availability, and fees.

The List

The following companies sell international Visa gift cards and/or Visa prepaid cards. I’ve ordered them beginning with your best overall options.

Keep in mind that there may be additional fees for international use.[19][20]
