only USD and EUR cash can be freely exchanged for RUB cash;
you must present your ID (passport) for transactions over RUB 40,000;
there is NO exchanging of non-cash currency for RUB cash using Mastercard or Visa bank cards issued outside of Russia. It is also not possible to withdraw RUB cash from these cards.

Follow currency exchange updates on the official website of the Bank of Russia at cbr.ru/eng.

Bank cards

We recommend bringing enough cash with you for the entire duration of SPILF due to restrictions on the use of foreign bank cards in Russia.

The use of MIR and UnionPay cards in Russia is not restricted in any currency. We recommend that SPILF participants get a new card/bring an existing card that uses one of these systems, if possible.

Please note that UnionPay has started its operations in Russia relatively recently. Therefore, cards using this payment system may occasionally malfunction.

Please note that payment of the participation fee on time and in full is a prerequisite to receiving a participation badge and gaining access to the SPILF 2023 venue.
