<\/div>\n\n\n\nSanctions, banks disconnected from SWIFT, currency restrictions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
After the introduction of international sanctions against Russia, many Russian banks were disconnected from the SWIFT system, which significantly complicated international transfers. Even those banks that are still formally connected to SWIFT often face refusals from foreign banks due to fear of secondary sanctions and reputational risks. Transfers can take weeks, and are sometimes returned to the sender without explanation. In addition, Russian Visa and Mastercard cards issued within the country no longer work abroad - they cannot be used to pay or withdraw cash in Georgia, and MIR cards are not accepted in Georgian banks. The same applies to popular payment systems - Western Union, Wise, PayPal and others, which have completely stopped working with Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe need to notify the tax authorities when opening foreign accounts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
If you open a bank account in Georgia or another country to receive transfers, Russian law requires you to notify the Federal Tax Service (FTS) within a month from the date of account opening. This rule applies to all foreign accounts, deposits, and even brokerage accounts. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in fines and additional questions from tax authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nMethods of transferring money from Russia to Georgia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In 2025, the question of how to transfer money from Russia to Georgia worries many people - and for good reason: the usual services have left the market, and restrictions and commissions are constantly changing. Let's figure out what methods of transferring money are available now, and what their pros and cons are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n1. The Golden Crown system (Koronapay)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is the most popular and relatively simple way to transfer money from Russia to Georgia today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
