Is there any way to get a local sim card nowadays in russia as a tourist? I plan to use an ESIM, but I know to authorize payments on your credit card you need a local number (at least with Sberbank)

It is a very complicated prosess I would say… The easiest one is to find a Russian person who can give you a physical local SIM card that is registered on that persons name.

Apply for Tinkoff bank account. They do open bank accounts for tourists and then they can also come to your apartment and give you a SIM card but they will take your biometric data (voice and photo) to open SIM card on your name 🫣

Thank you for this information! Very valuable.

When I registered for tinkoff, I'm pretty sure I needed a local phone number during the in app sign up process.

It was good service though, a day later they delivered my bank card and verifies my passport and tourist visa. Depositing USD or EUR into ATM to top up RUB balance for local spending.

So I ended up using the sim card provided by my friend for the entire 3 months.

You might be right. Maybe it did need the phone number to apply for Tinkoff account and phone number. 🫣 Maybe I gave my number for the application process. It is sooo complicated now in Russia. It is like catch-22 in Russia now with phone numbers.

It is considered illegal now and that person might get in trouble so be careful doing that

Hello dear friends
I wanted to ask what’s the best place to visit from moscow or SPB during mid June
1. Lake baikal (am afraid it’s too far)
2. Altai region
3. karelia and the lakes near SPB
4. Kaliningrad
5. Or maybe Sochi?

We have been to Russia 2 years back and absolutely loved SPB and murmansk.

I would choose between 1,2 and 3
Anyway you will use flights so I don’t see the difference between 1 and 2 options

techguybiswa 2d

Makes sense !!
But I am sacred of 8+ hours of domestic flights 😂
Also are 4 days enuf for altai/baikal?

maria4fun 2d

I understand:)
You will get the flavour:)
My first trip to Altay lasted 2 days only. But I remember it still:)

techguybiswa 2d
