What to do When Visa Card and Bank SWIFT Doesn’t Work

This is another important video on how to sort out banking in Russia.

The easiest way is to fly to Turkey or some other non-EU country first, then get a connecting flight to Russia.

Another thought of moving money that is not discussed in this video. Bring small gold bullion coins or small bars. Yes, you will lose more than 2-3% but it’s better than not being able to access your money or having the border guards steal it.

But gold is recognized world-wide. You will have to go to a special Russian bank to get this done unless you know someone who buys gold bullion coins or bars. Don’t use numismatic coins to do this as the buy-sell spread is too high and collectors in other countries will not pay as much. I know this, as I used to be a US coin dealer.
