Sam Good Day! Is it possible to send money from Russia to China?
One suggestion when you do a transfer for the first time is to transfer a small amount first (10$ say or equivalent) to see that the transfer works before transferring a larger amount.
Good point. Thank you!
Sure! Great idea!
I found a solution. Transfer money using Unicredit bank. send the passport fee 135 GBP, plus $200 minimum bank fee. :( Complicated form online, so going to branch Monday.
This could not have come at a better time, thank you!
You’re welcome. Many people have been asking too.
Some of my foreign friends opened bank accounts in Kygrgyzstan banks. They send money via regular bank transfer from EU, then make another transfer from Kyrgyz bank to Russia.
That makes sense. I haven’t done it so I couldn’t recommend it
If you open an account in a bank in Kyrgyzstan, in the capital, Bishkek you can get a MIR debit card and transfer money from your Kyrgyzstan account to your Russian based bank's MIR card. Kyrgyzstan is not sanctioned so it is easy to transfer funds from western banks or transfer system. Bishkek is a really nice friendly city that is on the old Silk Road so it has 3 main ethic population and some of the best fruits and vegetables you can find anywhere, with its unique 4 harvest seasons. The volcanic soil can grow anything and you can really taste the difference. I went there for a visa run one time from St Petersburg and had such a nice time I extended my time and then returned 3more times
@@stanspb763They just canceled the MIR card in Kyrgyzstan....
@@stanspb763Can you transfer $$ from US to Kyrgyzstan ? What documents do you need to open an account in Kyrgyzstan ?
@@stanspb763 Great Info. Iwas ther during my service in Afghanistan. It was our tranist point
Guys, if someone decides to move to Russia, come to Crimea, Kerch. Very peaceful city, no traffic, cheap affordable houses. We live between two seas. Black sea and Azov sea. It's a good climate for whole year.
Dont you have problems with water at home? Crimea isnt very rainy ☔
Thanks
Do you have a link to a real estate (rental) web site?
Lol, not so sure thats the most desirable location, at the moment 🤣
@@DAVEVIKASARATOV "at the moment". Time will pass and the Crim will be quiet. I hear from a Russian that its weather is great, compared with most of Russia
@RussianRussia-xn6io I'll stick to Saratov region. The Volga is very nice 😊
Ordering my 3 year tourist visa tomorrow and preparing for my trip there next year. Thanks for your help as the money issue in Russia was next on my list to work on.
Thanks so much for this! I hope you have a great trip to Russia! 🇷🇺 Ask any questions you want!
Sam I had an email last week from Nationwide Building society informing me that someone who had in the past transferred money to Russia (raiffeisen) they would from May 11 not be permitting this any longer. I have lived in Sevastopol for 19 years and pretty much been jumping through hoops getting money here since 2014, although raiffeisen has been a godsend for some years.. Good video, am of the opinion things now are changing very quickly, I would also mention a month ago when trying to get $10000US in new $100 bills from TUI they had me jumping through hoops until they realised that they had been let down by a customer and was holding a large amount of these notes and they quickly relented! Also if travelling with Pegasus from London to Moscow you stand a good chance of being stopped and interviewed by officers so if you happen to be carrying a large amount of currency there is a chance they will suggest you are breaking/evading sanctions, far better to book a ticket to Istanbul and consider Aeroflot or another carrier to mainland Russia and be prepared for an interview by Russian officers at whatever airport you arrive at! Regards from Sevastopol
Thanks for sharing. I typically transfer money to Russian friends living outside of Russia
The great route is using
Air Marocc .
I've flown:
NY Casablanca
Casablanca Moscow.
There's a 10-hour layover.
Air Marocc does offer the hotel. Their hotel is a nightmare. However, there are hotels right outside the airport ( western chains).
Just reserve a hotel on your own, and all be peachy.
I have a solid easy solution to sending money into russia bypassing all sanctions. I have sent thousands of dollars without any costs.
Hello, I live also in Sevastopol, Peredove villlage, since 18 years. I born french, and now franco russian. The way by Istanbul is not to bad, from France to Russia, and back to home by Sotchi, after train or car to Sevastopol, long and tiring travel....Best regards
How??? @@gustaf5753
Awesome! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You’re welcome ☺️
This is really useful information. Thank you!
Sam, well done for your great content. This information is definitely worth gold at the moment during such unpredictable times. I am an Australian living and teaching in Moscow for almost a year. I wanted to mention that it would also be important to also know how to send money from Russia to a bank account for example to a friendly country such as Georgia and Kazakhstan. So as to make it easier for when we are travelling to other countries and use those bank cards from the friendly countries to make purchases since it would be safer and easier especially when many places do not accept cash.
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much! You are very kind.
Saratov is a very beautiful place on the banks of the Volga river, the width of the river reaches 13 kilometers, the land is cheap forest , Volga, fishing) Germans love Saratov, nature, the German Volga region. Germans have lived and lived here since the time of Empress Catherine II. Residents of Moscow are coming here now. They like it here. The weather is four seasons. Nicely.
Thanks a lot it's very important information
Most welcome 🙏
thx for the vid . great one , btw lovely garden
Thanks mate. I just rent here.
Sam clearly states multiple times ; check for yourself first. Solid advice and one to start with every time. All of them mentioned have different steps, hidden and unexpected conditions, variations on peoples experiences etc. Rafaissen accounts have minimum deposit limits to use the account, transaction minimums, high commissions etc. Everyone seems to have differing experiences. Profi not showing Russian transfers allowed on mine, for example. The two easiest and most cost effective ways are 1) bring it in yourself in 10k splits. Remember that this is a PER PERSON allowance, so travelling with partner, more can be brought. 2) Russian Friends needing outbound transfers. Remember you also have to technically declare crypto transactions for tax purposes.........
I prefer sending money to Russias outside of Russia. Thanks mate.
Since 2024 it is allowed to bring in as much as u have, just need to declare the sum in written if it is more than 10 000 dollars/euros per a person. There is a form T2, someone said. And if it is more than 100 000 dollars one should have proofs of its origins (like u sold your property papers, closed your bank account papers). This is legall to bring cash to Russia now.
Agree, nothing is working from usa for example.
Raffeisen is autrian I believe, though I may be mistaken
I like that you are keeping your hood on during this video, I'm not sure why.
Excellent video. Thank you!
Hello, Sam! 😊 Greetings from Sochi! 🇷🇺💫
I'm so glad I found your amazing channel! Thanks for the tips, I will definitely share your video with my students. This is very useful information. Thanks for sharing. 🙏 God bless you! Всего самого наилучшего! 🌏🇷🇺💫🙏
Awesome! Thank you! I hope they find it useful
Hello, just out of curiosity, which climate is warmer, Sochi or Sevastopol ? Thankyou.
Thanks 🙏. You are a life saver. I need to send money to my stepson.
Glad I could help
Great tips Sam!
When you are going in Russia euth foreign money, be aware that euros or dollars shall be clean and with no wear and tear or writings or marks on them. Sberbank is buying gold, but need to ask them what kind of coins or gold they are bying. There are special companies, which are buing gold and silver coins, but these coins shall be quite good and widely known as investment coin, usually these companies having a catalog of wanted coints and price they are ready to pay. But easiest and simplest way is to be able to take cash with and then try options being in Russia
Thank you very much for a very valuable information.
There is one more way, may not be for everybody. If the sender, recipient, or both, is a member of a religious community, you can sometimes use this religious community to transfer money from one country to another, this will requires that the religious community is represented in both countries.
Thanks Sam. Been waiting for this one since you said a couple of days ago you were making this video.
Hopefully it was helpful
@@SamsRussianAdventures Very 👍🏻🙏🏻
I did the 1 and 2. Worked well. I cleared the border late (took 4,5 hours because I needed temporary import papers for my car) and had to exchange my EUR at midnight in St Petersburg. There was a little exchange office open 24H.
Next time I already have RUB and the Raifeisen debit card with me, so will be less hassle. You never about the border crossing time when going by car.
Border crossing with a car can take up to 6-8 hours, you can be lucky and do it in 20 minutes, I use to set about three hours to cross.
This vid is perfect we wanted to do a class trip to Russia, but the Main Problem wwas that we couldnt get money from germany to russia, so now we might be able to go.
Brilliant! I hope you are no able to go!
Excellent!
Many thanks! 🙏
Sam, good video we send monthly via Raiffeisen from U.K. pay 20 pound fee and 3 hours in Moscow here 5 Euro fee, same with OTP we send as well
Thanks Derek, how much do you send? Do you send in Euros or pounds?
Если я не ошибаюсь ваш перевод должен быть не менее 20 000 евро?
OTP PLC Bank swift is operating normally same with Bank of China and Raiffeisen I use all 3 no lower limits and higher limits around 30k in Euros
@@derrickmoriarty7600 What country is Otp bank operates in? And does it work with $$? Thanks.
Райффайзен is winding down their business in Russia. They announced it.
As of now transfers are still working
They've announced it multiple times but the Russian govt. is making it super difficult for them to leave. The more likely scenario is that the US gets fed up and sanctions them. Note that Canada sanctioned all the banks in Belarus, because one of the ways of transferring money was through a bank in Belarus. Now that Canada sanctioned them, a lot of western banks stopped doing transfers to them.
Agreed There will be problems soon
@@steven-k. their main problem is that their Russian business is 70% of whole banking group. Leaving is a death sentence for them.
@@steven-k. Little more than political blackmail.
Good one Sam thanks .very helpfull .
You’re welcome
Hello, Sam!. I'm glad someone other then Eli who made a video on money transfer in/out of Russia, but I find yours a lot simpler to do.
I have one question to you, for any potential investors in Russia, what do you need to know. Possibly a video on it.
Hi, it’s a difficult topic. When you say investing, what do you mean exactly? I don’t think that anyone should think about investing in Russia until they know enough about Russia to know about the risks of investing!
@@SamsRussianAdventures (1). Consumer electronics development, (2). Software design and (3). Horticulture contracts (maintenance).
we've given tens of thousands to Chinese in Canada who have someone in China put RMB in our account.
Cool. Good idea.
Thank you! Straight forward business information without any political dirt.
I don’t really like the political stuff
Please note, that in Russia you can be asked for papers when transferring more than 600k rubles or close to it. So, if you use a friend or crypto(which is not legal in Russia), you better do not send more than 6k$ at once.
You better receive a cache and put it to your card via ATM.
Regarding crypto - there is a lot scammers even inside big crypto stocks, so better check twice and start with small amounts. I am using bybit for sending money to my Russian card and also tried once crypto exchange to cache - it went well, but minimum ammount is 3k$
You are pure gold
Thank you
Takk!
Thank you so much! You are amazing! I really appreciate your support and generosity.
I will not transfer money to Russia, I live too far from beautiful Russia. I want to thank you for amazing adventures in villages with typical cultures. I enjoy your nice walks and talks around Vladimir. God bless your good work with health and happiness in your busy YT world. 😆👑 Vladimir in summer is full of pretty gardens, very well maintained.
Thank you very much! It’s been a cold and windy last few weeks, I’m looking forward to the sun and some walking about!
Gidday Sam, did anyone ever complement you by suggesting that when you are wearing that Hoodie you look like Rasputin ? 😊. Seriously, a very good Help Video on currency exchange. Thanks again Sam.
Hahaha nobody said that before! Thanks!
Спасибо большое за видео 😊
Пожалуйста 🙂
Absolutely brilliant 👍. Very useful, thanks, Sam.❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
WOW WOW WOW!!!
Thank u for the info Sam .very useful ! The only thing I heard that the Austrian bank takes lots of commission . Would be nice to have the video: how ppl travel to Russia. And I’m interested in every little detail . I went through Finland last year , it was good , but now it all closed. But then my friend has to litterely map it out for me. Cause I’m an always so worried. I know now the best way if not the only way is through Turkey. But id love to know all the details even small ones . And plus I understand it’s no less then £1000
Hi mate. I haven’t travelled for a while but everyone I know has travelled via Istanbul. Though I know that it’s possible to travel via Latvia or Estonia
Hi Sam thanks for your reply❤ would be nice to have more details from someone who knows how it’s done. Like through Finland I had to sit down and work it fr me: flight to Helsinki , then bus in 3 hours which was nod bad in case of flight delays, then my friend booked a hotel in st.petersburg over night then sapsan train to Moscow next morning. through Turkey is a whole new route. Guess also a hotel upon arrival to Istanbul? Cuz the connecting flights are to spaced out and I would not want to sleep on the bench for 15 hours. And then the way back. Also the hotel again b4 going to London? Would b nice to know pppls experience
Korona Pay have ceased to send money to Russia on 23rd of May. For information.
That’s such a shame. I thought that they were registered outside of the EU and do they’d be alright. Things change fast
Honestly, this is all rather depressing. The options are limited and things are changing quickly, meaning that unsanctioned banks can become sanctioned in a matter of days. The various apps to transfer money are creepy. To me, the safest ways remain the $10,000 option and, as Sam says, relying on friends with relatives abroad. It's still very messy for those of us who have lives both in and outside of Russia and I guess things won't be changing soon.
I know people are using all of these methods but typically sending small amounts. I agree mate.
Western Oligarchs and despots. Doing everything thet accuse and condemn others of.
It really is depressing 😔. My hubs is from Crimea. We live in US. His mom still lives in Crimea and we have been trying to figure out how to send her money!! When we do finally find something, it's like we are a step behind because it is no longer working.
My hubs doesn't talk about it but I can feel his depression and frustration growing.
Thanks, Sam. Very informative, and some of your commenters are quite knowledgeable!
You’re welcome ☺️
You are Amazing so glad found your channel, you helped with good information. from Seattle Thank you,
No problem. On the 20th my website will be live and I’ll be updating information on there about topics such as this one. Things change fast.
Love your videos Sam. Thanks for this. I have a Russian daughter living in Moscow with her mother. I live in the UK. So I have to send monthly child maintenance payments to the mother in Moscow. This has become very difficult. I have tried several of the methods you mention. And all failed. Which is a problem. My UK bank didn't seem happy with a couple of the transactions so I think? they were stopped at my end.
Another bank that my friend from the UK is using to transfer money to Russia is www.starlingbank.com/
There is one nuance: the card you are transferring money to must be issued by a bank that is not under sanctions. A while ago I I transferred money from the U.K. to Russia via Profee, but the card I to was issued by Ozon bank.
Exactly. I recommend raifheisen but it’s also important to check which banks are able to be used.
You should mention that most of these only work from the EU and UK, they do not work from the US.
Coronpay doesnt work from Sweden even. Russia is not on the list
Thanks for all this Information
Always welcome! 🤗
Hi same have you made a video or commented on how I could access or bring my spending money with me if I was in Russia for Holiday/Language course week. Carrying just cash into to the country would make me nervous ( in any country actually).
I read my normal VISA/Mastercard will not work whilst in Russia. Is there a local card are could load up with everyday spending money?
You can own a bank account in Russia or you can use one of the methods that I talked about in todays video
Awesome!! Thank you for putting this together, this was needed 😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks 🙏
Some shopping malls and supermarkets in Russia have crypto ATM machines. This makes it convenient but of course commission can be a downside (Approx. $15 per $50USD)
Hi! Do you know which crypto wallets work with rubles? TIA!
@@patijones1979 So far I have only seen bitcoin and ETH ATMs (you can also do the opposite and convert rubles to crypto), I'm sure the trend will expand to more in the future!
I think $10,000 is less risky, and if i need more, i can set up an account in Russia and transfer it over. Or cross the border and bring more over. Thanks for the information, Sam.
Useful advice Sam, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
--- SAM: You're the best! :)
Thanks ☺️
@@SamsRussianAdventures --- Btw. Happy Mother's Day!
USDT is the end all be all…..we’ve got it dialed in
Thank you very much, Sam. This advice was invaluable. This is one more step to bring me closer to Russia.
Glad it was helpful!
There's only Sam, who easily tells you the important stuff. Thanks mate )
If you carry cash with you, wear a waist pouch with extra length of the belt so that you can thread it again through the buckle so that if the buckle does come undone, your pouch won't fall away and make you realize that it's come undone. And you carry only a small amount of cash in your wallet/purse. Put all ID docs in that pouch in a ziplock bag so that they don't get wear from rubbing against the fabric of the pouch.
Profee looks ALMOST like Wise - are they the same thing??
Good advice. They could be the same! They are all similar.
As far as pension payments go, let's address the USA pension: they will send it to a bank in your country of residence. If you have moved to Russia, e.g., and don't have a permanent address elsewhere, how do you get past the sanctions?
Well, you need another permanent address that is not in a sanctioned country. AND if you don't want to lose 25% of your pension due to the US withholding it, be sure to pick one of the privileged 9 countries that are exempt from the withholding. Then make that address your permanent, vacation home and have your check sent there. Via online banking, you can use one of Sam's techniques to then transfer your funds to a Russian bank.
Your pension gets paid into your US bank and then just transfer it to Russia using one of the apps or other methods I mentioned
@@SamsRussianAdventures That assumes that you are entitled to have an American bank account. Having renounced my citizenship, I don't have that option. And a citizen would still have to have a permanent address in the US to receive their money there.
Interesting video, thank you Sam. Please note the spelling error in title (should be "transfer").
Thank you for pointing out my error
Nice one
Sam, when are you going to show the White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal, the UNESCO churches and monasteries with their beautiful frescoes? Vladimir is not a provincial Russia as you keep saying, it's one of Golden Ring's town, almost a millenium old, very beautiful historic town. Enough of your local Cafes and people sitting there with their computers.
I’ve done quite a few videos with the sites of the town.
I send crypto with my TG crypto wallet to a friend of mine. Very happy with this option.
If you understand crypto then it’s probably the best option.
@SamsRussianAdventures
If you can learn russian language from scratch... you can definitely learn how pay with crypto. You don't need to be a top nodge crypto trader.
Сэм, хэлой Бро
Nice video thanks. Informative. Crypto is great because you are your own bank and you can send it to anyone in any country. And specifically Bitcoin because no government or bank can stop you from using it.
Sam, thanks for all the information you provide for us
I have a question, hopefully you can help me. Can I buy land if I live outside of Russia? I interested in buying land to build my house but I don't have the money right now
You’ll need to give somebody permission to purchase it for you on your behalf. Fill out this form and you’ll be sent the information forms.gle/cyx4ah2F1BN3geQB7

Good to know that there are options. Interest in exploring the possibilities of moving to Russia is growing in Europe. Perhaps this is something the Russian government should look to encourage?
hello Sam!

Interesting - I and my wife have used all those ways apart of crypto :)
Perfect! I prefer just to send money to Russian friends
Hi Sam, hello from Canada we love your channel !
What is that on the ground where you start taking it is not grass and dark black. Is it a large driveway pad in your backyard?
A topic would be to show us houses or condos to buy or rent in your town. Similar to what Russel does for Moscow
Thanks
More and more bloggers are talking about moving to Russia. Most bloggers talk about moving to Russia in Russian, but there are bloggers who talk about moving to Russia in other languages.
What happened? Is this a new trendy topic for youtubers?
And I am very happy when Russian-speaking people or people who have learnt Russian move to Russia. But why would English-speaking people move to Russia? If you don't know Russian, how will you communicate in Russia?
If a person just wants to travel, it's easier to bring cash. I always travel with cash, and no one ever robs me.
Main cities speak English. So you can make friends. They will help you to study Russian and you will help them to improve English.
It’s unfair to assume that they won’t want to learn Russian! I don’t actually know about any foreigners who make content in Russian about moving to Russia. Can you share them with me? Thanks.
@@SamsRussianAdventures The Brits, whose video I saw recently. "British Chef", "Scottish guy in Moscow".
@@lucyfromsiberia I think the Scottish Guy is learning Russian. The British Chef is just coming to Russia now, so I think they will learn Russian.
As far as I know Raiffeisen has a small fee for transfers in euro. But for dollars it's really huge :(
Can you not choose your transfer in euros?
The fee in dollars are due to routing costs via New York, only Euros
I used crypto USDT + P2P exchange to transfer from US many times
Many people are still scared of crypto
Me too, I use my UK bank (santander) to buy the crypto (coinbase) , then sell the crytpo to a third party (sendNOW) They then convert and send to my russian bank card (tinkoff)
Open an account in a country beside russia, once a month go on a trip and pick up your money. It isnt like you have anything to do anyways.....Minsk, Belarus is 12 hours away which you could do easily do and you could do a youtube video in the capitol which you make more money from....like i said before plan ahead....you could have hotels you review for a free nights stay for months ahead of time....youtube is a business and you get back what you put into it....
I have no problems sending money to Russia! I don’t need an account in Belarus!
@@SamsRussianAdventures Unless one has residency, each time you leave you have to register stay again.
@@stanspb763 I'm confused s to what this is to do with sending money to Russia
Most banks but not all in Belarus are also under sanctions. You would have to go to Central Asia or like Armenia Georgia etc. It is still viable if you go once every three months not too bad.
@@SamsRussianAdventures You said a bank took half of your youtube money. 1500 dollars is a ton of money, i havent worried about a bill in my life but i take care of every dollar i make cause the more i can invest the more i make a year. Every single dollar invested makes more money.

@@SamsRussianAdventures gold bullion is another method I used.
You mentioned Crypto! Good on ya Sam! - btc is king.
I have a friend who uses it but I’m still to learn about it.
can I set up the bank account even though I’m not currently in Russia at the moment and start with money transfers into that bank account so it’s got enough money in there when I finally get there?
I would perhaps contact raifheisen to see if you can open an account. I opened it in Russia. You can of course take some money with you to Russia and then open a bank account when you arrive and transfer the rest.
Great info sam. Very timely
Thanks!
Just found this R bank in NYC. On Avenue of American NY NY.

What bank???
Raiffaisen bank charges 50% commission on US dollar transfer
Just transfer the money in euros then
@@SamsRussianAdventures A Canadian bank ( Scotia bank) refused to transfer money to ANY account in Russia, particularly to Raif.
U can transfer to Kirgizian bank, they are joining the russian pay system "MIR" and they are not under sanctions yet. But u should open a bank account there from the distance or by coming personally.
Gagauziya (a part of Moldaviya) also joined the russian pay system "MIR". Maybe they can transfer to Russia.

Is Europe a jail. ?
Thank you, Sam. It is a question on everyone's mind. Reiffheisen Bank/TorFX/Profee/Koronapay/Crypto. What about Venmo?
Thanks, it’s been the most popular question for a while
I believe Venmo is US only.
Hi, I loved your video I'm from Canada and I need to send money to parents, what was the 6th way?!?! Please and thank you
You don’t understand it? Russian people have a problem sending money outside of Russia. You can send money from your foreign bank account to wherever they need money sending. Perhaps they have a child living outside Russia and need to support them. You can send their child money and then their parents can give you the money inside of Russia.
Hello, I was told that you might be able to help me. I have been in Russia for many years but I have been going to the US to renew my Drivers License , any suggestions on how to go about getting a Russian one?
Unfortunately because the US is outside of the Vienna road traffic treaty, you cannot swap your license for a Russian one. You’ll need your take the driving test!
@@SamsRussianAdventures Thank you
@@SamsRussianAdventures A and B class licences only require the knowledge tests, under the Vienna Treaty. All other classes require the road test as well. Apparently it all changes on 1 April, 2025. ГИББД couldn't tell me what the changes were. Just to get A and B before 1 April, 2025.
What made you move to Russia? I did quite the opposite. Left Russia for New Zealand. Do you find life there easier?

What about little goldbar when arriving to russia, or diamonds? Only problem to find out were to cash them in russia but I think not hard
I don’t know! Why bring diamonds when you could just make a bank transfer
@@SamsRussianAdventures Thats true, I know one guy who put diamond under his skin as a emergency money but he was traveling in asia and afica
U will shine on x-ray in all airports checks. Expect a lot of questions. U will get a scrap value of your gold bar as there will be no means to check legality and purity of gold once its crossed the border
Fly through Dubai. Pick up a lot of gold. Fly to Moscow.
No tax or fee to leave Dubai with gold, no tax or fee to enter Russia with gold.
Last I checked, (a few years ago) you don't even have to declare gold, and there were no limits.
Some banks will give you rubles for gold. Or, you can find a nice jeweler. I had one that would buy large amounts for spot. You may take a little haircut, but not near as much as the banks would take from you with currency.
