Wasim,

After 9/11 there have been lots of restrictions on transfer of money between countries in cash and also through bank accounts.

One needs to declare money worth more than USD 10,000 ( and of course make a satisfactory explanation of its source) at the airport. It seems from your post that you are going to Pakistan for good and you might be taking your final settlement and savings which will exceed this limit therefore you should carry all the necessary supporting papers.

It is not advisable to carry large amount of cash to Pakistan for security reasons and you should transfer it through bank.
