Ljhangh said that UPI One World Wallet can be used for merchant stores, hotels and restaurants as well as online shopping, entertainment, transportation, travel booking and many such tasks. This wallet is available at airports, hotels, money exchange locations and other places. One thing to keep in mind is that if a foreign traveller wants to use it, he will have to get KYC process done with the help of a valid visa and passport.

UPI One World Wallet service is only for foreigners

The biggest advantage of this feature is that users will not need to keep cash. That means they will be able to make online payments. Only NRIs and foreigners will be able to take advantage of this facility. If any balance is left, it will be refunded. Foreign exchange regulation will be used for this. That means you can get its benefit only under the exchange rate.
