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 is really useful information. Thank you!
Thanks!
You are amazing 🤩 thank you 🙏
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!
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
@SamsRussianAdventures thank you so much, Sam. You're a great guy, have an awesome day 😊
On top of everything that has been said, and thank you, there’s also Asian banks that have not been sanctioned.
Interesting video, thank you Sam. Please note the spelling error in title (should be "transfer").
Thank you for pointing out my error
Nice one
There's only Sam, who easily tells you the important stuff. Thanks mate )
Just found this R bank in NYC. On Avenue of American NY NY.
👍👍👍
What bank???
Sam, thank you so much - so many concrete tips without much water placed in a short video!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I wonder if Sam has thought about selling an unfinished house and buying a house that is half finished, but completed? Maybe it would be possible to come to an agreement with some construction bloggers? 😅😅
Good idea but it’s ok, I’m slowly starting to finish my house
Great video Sam, very informative. You are loved by all western people! ❤
Stay warm!
I slept in my sleeping bag last night!
@@SamsRussianAdventures WOW! NIce!
How can I ensure that the funds I use to purchase property in Russia, amounting to millions of rubles, will be considered legal?
Why would they not be considered legal? They are in a bank or in your hand!
According to the law, if the transaction amount is 6 million rubles or more, the parties are required to provide certificates of origin of funds by filling out special declarations
There's a general rule in a lot of countries including Russia that they check deposits of more than $10,000. So yeah, how do you prove the source is legitimate after using a convoluted method of getting it there? With great difficulty, is the answer.
We transferred 50,000 pounds for land purchase sent in Euros and sent it to Raiffeisen but we have been using the bank for years and our U.K. bank compliance department has vetted us and we us it at least monthly 5 years I have had no problems sent at 8am U.K. arrived normally 3/4 hours, compliance takes 2 hours swift is about an hour and I pay all fees 20 pounds
You can take that amount of money into the country
god bless you
Bitcoin's the way. You can take it with you or send it anywhere and no one's controlling it. Most other crypto currencies are controlled by someone or some corporation.
I have a friend who does bitcoin but I haven’t done it myself yet
But overnight you can gain or loose a whole bunch of money😅 USDT sounds more reliable, but not 100%. One day USDT will collapse as well cuz it's basically a scam.
Can you please tell me how to send money to Russia? What crypto wallet should I use?
@@angeljuliav6860 there is no need to use crypto. It can dangerous. For now you can send SWIFT transactions to Raiffeisen bank. Exchange rate is not the best on the market but not that bad.
Wow wow
Great video Sam. - Raiffeisen cannot sell their bank operations without the RF government vetting who the buyer is. */smiles/*
Can i link an article just released 2 hours.?
(i copied it in case it does not open)
Financial Times
This should be taken down for giving advice on financing Russian terrorism
How is it financing terrorism? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
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 ?

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.
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
This could not have come at a better time, thank you!
You’re welcome. Many people have been asking too.
@@SamsRussianAdventuresSam hi. Are you from Yorkshire ?
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.
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.
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
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.

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
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
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.
Are you in Australia ?
Awesome! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You’re welcome ☺️
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.
@@derrickmoriarty7600 so, just one question, you opened an account at Bank of China (I believe in Russia) and you transfer the money from China to Russia ? am I correct?
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 😊
Sam! Here are lot of bots or scammers. Just saying.
It seems, it doesn’t matter to him at all😉…
It’s how this channel works out!
They are everywhere mate. I delete them when I see them. They spam my telegram channel too, they are very clever.
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much! You are very kind.
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)
Can you please tell me what crypto wallet did you use? I can't figure it out which one would work? Please🙏🏼
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.
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/
Does it work?@@SamsRussianAdventures
Thanks a lot it's very important information
Most welcome 🙏
I used to use Krona pay in the past but within the last 3 months they blocked sending money to Russia from uk is there a simple way to transfer money like krona pay online currently?
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 $50USD)
Hi! Do you know which crypto wallets work with rubles? TIA!
@@patijones1979 So far I have only seen bitcoin and ETH ATMs (you can also do the opposite and convert rubles to crypto), I'm sure the trend will expand to more in the future!
thx for the vid . great one , btw lovely garden
Thanks mate. I just rent here.
Thanks 🙏. You are a life saver. I need to send money to my stepson.
Glad I could help
I will not transfer money to Russia, I live too far from beautiful Russia. I want to thank you for amazing adventures in villages with typical cultures. I enjoy your nice walks and talks around Vladimir. God bless your good work with health and happiness in your busy YT world. 😆👑 Vladimir in summer is full of pretty gardens, very well maintained.
Thank you very much! It’s been a cold and windy last few weeks, I’m looking forward to the sun and some walking about!
Nothings seems to work anymore. Any other way to send money to Russia?
we've given tens of thousands to Chinese in Canada who have someone in China put RMB in our account.
Cool. Good idea.
Please note, that in Russia you can be asked for papers when transferring more than 600k rubles or close to it. So, if you use a friend or crypto(which is not legal in Russia), you better do not send more than 6k$ 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$
Can you please elaborate how you use bybit to send money outside of Russia?
sam u r russkiy by now why u call your contry Russia
Why do I call my country Russia? It is.
Is it possible to open an account and transfer money via MIR card. I last heard that it's possible to open an account in a bank in Istanbul, Turkey for instance, but would you recommend it?
It depends on what the laws in Turkey are like. They may ask you to declare the money or maybe pay tax on it. I don’t know the laws there.
@@SamsRussianAdventures Thanks for the swift reply. There is currently no limit on the value of foreign currency and Turkish Lira that can be taken into Turkey.

This video will age very quickly. Raifaisen bank is exiting Russia by the end of 2024
As I said, these are what is currently working now
That's great news! They should have exited way earlier.
he said throughout the video that anything can change tomorrow.
To send money to ruzzia?! Why the hell?! All ruzzians are responsible and wilm pay.
koronapay have been sanctioned out of Russia. Just so you know. Good video though and thanks.
Seems none of these methods are valid from the US even $10 worth. Hopefully Bitcoin still works.
Do they not allow you to send money to raifheisen bank?
Isn’t Russia Great? They have several new supermarkets per housing area and a new high speed train.

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.
Profee doesn´t work . There is no field to shoose Russia counry
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.
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.
One can fly via Serbia to Moscow and bring in cash but visa is needed.
@@eserivayeah Canada… the bottom of the bottom.. sorry
@@SamsRussianAdventures No, it is impossible to transfaer €€ by Raiff.
Why are you talking in dollars?
Unicredit bank, nor sanctioned. send 135 GBP British passport renewal fee to UK. $200 fee.
Just read the notice again. That's the minimum. Up to1,000 dollars. When applying for passport and going yo embassy they tell you nothing. American passports you can pay cash at embassy, not on British passports, they demand debit cards outside Russia.
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.
USDT is the end all be all…..we’ve got it dialed in
Koronapay isn't showing ruble among the currencies available (Used this in the past)
Profee isn't showing ruble among the currencies available
Torfx isn't showing ruble among the currencies available
Even if Raiffeisen isn't sanctioned, my bank (Sweden) didn't allow me sending money to that bank because it's in Russia and don't want to send 20k anyway
What way can I send money through crypto currencies? What exchanges or platforms? can you ask your friends?
There is a better way!
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
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.
I really enjoy these videos....
Indeed very informative
Glad you like them! Thanks 🙏
you can just buy Bitcoin for usd in US and sell it here in Russia for rubels
Many people don’t know about it, but that was one of the options
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.
What made you move to Russia? I did quite the opposite. Left Russia for New Zealand. Do you find life there easier?

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.

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.
I want to move to Russia and potentially get my masters degree there.
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

@@SamsRussianAdventures Very 👍🏻🙏🏻
Raiffeisen might come to your place of residence, but you will need to go to a notary to have them translate your passport officially in advance and have that document with you because the bank will want an accurate conversion of your language to Cyrillic script. With Tinkoff Bank they require your (migration) registration of where you are staying. Also Raiffeisen is going to charge your an absolute shocking arm and a leg to exchange USD. So I advise that if you carry any cash into Russia bring Euros! ... just image being charged $500 commission per $1000 dollars. you're losing 50% - "Bring Euros because they will only charge you $5-$7 so I'm warning you now!
What do you mean by bring euros, if you carry with you 10, 000 $$ US, you'll be charged 50% commission? Or its only if you transfer through the bank?
@@Lika786 they are going to charge 50% for the first $1000 exchanged then it's $500 commission on any amount over $1000. if you exchange Euros it's the normal rate between $5-$7

What about credit cards.. open a credit card that works in Russia from a different country close by and unsanctioned ?
Sure you could. I don’t know how many people would want to travel to another country and do that though.

Сейчас еще работает и возьмет маленький процент
