What about money EU has forbidden to export Euro banknotes or other currency from member states.

I want to visit Russia sometime this year. I have all documents and money for a visa but I don't have a sponsor. How do I get one? I have no connections in Russia.

Hey mate, thanks for the video. Would you mind answering me some questions? I´m going to russia in the end of this month for educational purposes and I am trying to buy my train ticket from st petersburg to nizhny novgorod. which bank do you recommend for me to open an online account and how can i transfer money into this bank account in order to buy the train ticket? (I also wanted to know if train tickets in russia and the bus ticket from finland to russia have a fixed price or if they get higher the closer the day you choose to travel). Thank you very much!

Thanks for all useful information. My plan is to travel to Russia with motorcycle. Previously the Green Card vehicle insurance was needed at the border. But now it’s has been suspended. I see some ads about Russian insurances but I don’t know which one to get. Secondly I am not sure if it is acceptable at border. Generally what is needed for overlanding to Russia now?

Can i tranfer money from finnish/western european online bank account to russian MIR card account? Or is it somehow blocked now?? Is it only possible with cash in russian banks? Sorry i dont know current situation...

Is it possible to get more money after using the euros or USD you brought? Is the only way to transfer crypto onto your Russian bank card?

Thank you so so much . NO ONE has put information like this out there.thank you 💕

Very useful video. Thank you.

Hi Igor, I have a question. what is your opinion of average cost per day for travelling in Moscow and St Petersburg now? Considering all hotels and train tickets already booked.... I'm very comfortable with budget trip, public transportation, cheap restaurants. But I heard everything is quite expensive in Russia now.

Thank you for your videos Igor, very helpful. I’m looking forward to my travel next week. Does the International Credit Cards work?

Thanks for all the advice Igor. I did have a question, are social medias such as Facebook and Instagram working in Russia? And if not would you recommend a VPN? Thank you and I can't wait for my studies in Russia!

Hello Igor, interesting your channel I can give my experience. I have two citizenships (Italian and Argentinian), whit my Argentinian passport I can stay 90 days (in total 180 in all the year, just need to go outside and come back after 90 days outside), whit Italian passport I need to do a visa. I travelled in January to Saint Petersburg, from Finland by bus (lux express, cost around 200 go and back, from Helsinki), to exchange I did without problems in a exchange office (euro to rubbles). European debit card I couldn´t use. I don't know if you have information about cards from other continents (for example to south America). And I have a question for you, if you know about if there is some way to send money because I saw basically all its blocked( wester union, wise, payoneer, etc). Thanks in advance and I hope helps to someone this information.

Thanks for all the information! Can you help me with two questions?
- First, whats the procedure when crossing the border by bus from Finland? You get out of the Bus and there's a line to leave Finland, then you cross to the other side, and there's another line to enter Russia? I didn't find any video with specifics about this process. If you could provide a small step by step, would be great! Just so I know what to expect over there.
- Second, I heard that you need a health travel insurance to enter the country (my country doesn't need a Visa to enter Russia), do you know any trustworthy companies?

Thanks once again!

Why is russia a weak 3rd world country? 250,000 soliders lost to the meat grinder, bridges destroyed, planes crashing, no medical supplies
, tanks from 1940's being wiped out. Not to mention the currency has crashed and the banks are going bust. What clown is running russia?

Great video, how can I go from St Petersburg to moscow ? I have heard there is a train but can I buy the ticket at the station or only online?

Visa update. From the 1st of August Russia started e-visa service. 54 country citizens can apply for e-visa which is valid for 16 days. You can stay up to 60 days a year in Russia with e-visa. Visa processed in 4 days including weekends. The visa fee is 40 USD.
