When planning a trip, do not forget about the currency restrictions on the export of cash from Russia. Thus, from March 2, 2022, there is a ban on the export of more than $ 10,000 from the Russian Federation. On October 15, Decree No. 737 "On certain issues of the execution (execution) of certain types of transactions (operations)" was published, according to which the Central Bank of Russia will be able to issue permits to export amounts in excess of the limit. The procedure for issuing such a permit is determined by the Board of Directors of the Central Bank.
Cards of foreign banks
You can pay with a card abroad if the issuer is a foreign bank. That is why “card tourism” services are popular now, allowing you to issue plastic outside of Russia.
You are traveling to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Armenia or another Central Asian country.
There you contact your local bank branch.
You complete the documents in accordance qatar mobile database with the rules of the selected bank.
In 1-3 days you will receive a plastic Visa or Mastercard.
This card can be freely used in any country in Europe, Asia and other regions. Sanctions do not apply to it, despite the fact that the holder is a citizen of Russia.
You can open an account in a foreign bank yourself or through intermediaries. Some agencies offer remote registration by proxy, meaning you don’t have to go anywhere.
Another option is to get the card directly in the country you are going to.
For example, in Thailand, a non-resident can open a bank account in one day at Bangkok Bank. You will need a certificate from the immigration service, a passport, and a local phone number.
In Turkey, Russians can become clients of Ziraat Bank, DenizBank, Vakif Bank and other local banks, and a residence permit is not required. But, judging by the reviews of tourists, the decision to open an account remains with the employee at a specific bank branch. There are frequent cases when one office refuses to issue a card, while a neighboring branch of the same bank issues a card without any problems.
Now let's imagine that you have successfully opened an account in a foreign bank and received a card. To pay with it, you need to top up the account. How to do this? After all, you won't be able to transfer money directly from an account in a Russian bank.
