The visa fee is 700 yuan per month, and an additional 200 yuan per person is required for expedited applications. You only need to submit 2 photos.

The original passport and a copy of the ID card do not require an interview and can be processed within a week.

The exit rate is basically 100%.

No proof of employment or bank deposit is required. If you are a group of more than 5 people, you do not need to apply for a visa. If you only go to Moscow and St. Petersburg, a visa on arrival will be enough.

Because you have to transfer through a transit country, you need to apply for a visa on arrival (Транзúтная виза). Every country is different and you need to know it in advance when traveling independently.

Don’t worry about direct flights.

Train tickets: Going to St. Petersburg is Leningrad Railway Station.

Taking a train in Russia is different from that in China. You just find the platform where you are boarding and wait to get on the train, so you have to look at the big screen to find your waiting platform.

The loudspeakers are all spoken in Russian. Compatriots who do not understand Russian during self-guided tours should keep an eye on the big screen and leave the waiting platform about 20 minutes in advance.

Just show your passport and ticket when getting on the bus.

We took a train from Moscow to St. Petersburg that departed in the morning and arrived in the morning. The train has several types of sleeper berths, including hard sleepers like ours, 4-person box купе and 2-person box люкс first-class rooms.

From Moscow to St. Petersburg, the price for a four-person berth in a cabin is 2,730 rubles for the upper berth and 2,970 rubles for the lower berth. But I would like to remind everyone: it is best to pay 25 rupees for tea per person, which is also the money for using the bathroom. You must not save it to avoid

The conductor colluded with the thief. There are four people in one carriage. If one person goes to the toilet, he must wake up one person to avoid the thief entering at this time.

Soft sleeper private room for two (more than 5,000 rubles, about 1,000 yuan).

Ticket discount: You can apply for an international student ID card. Many classic tickets are free or discounted. You can directly apply for a domestic student ID card, including primary and secondary schools, universities, graduate students, etc.

Go to Taobao to search for international student ID cards and you will find stores that can apply for them.

Railway Station: There are 9 railway stations in Moscow - 1. Leningrad Лениградский вакзол 2. Yaraslav 3. Kazan Касанский вокзал 4. Belarus Белорусская вокзал 5. Kiev 6. Pavileska 7.

Riga 8, Savilavsk 9, Kursk exchange rubles: There is a money exchange place next to the place where you pick up your luggage. Don’t go there. The exchange rate is very low. 1 US dollar outside: 32.15 rubles. It went out at 1:23

There is an automatic exchange purchase machine right at the door. It is available in English. Press the first button in the upper left corner which is the exchange button. The exchange rate is the bank's price which is very convenient!

There is an automatic foreign currency exchange machine at the baggage claim area after customs clearance, but each exchange cannot exceed 5,000 RUB. It is a red machine and you can choose an English interface.

The operation process of the automatic foreign exchange purchase machine is roughly as follows: select English, enter the English operation interface, and then the machine will display the exchange rate of the day.

Select the currency you want to exchange. There seem to be two currencies: US dollars and euros. I brought US dollars with me at the time, so I chose US dollars.

Follow the prompts and put U.S. dollars into the money slot, and the machine will automatically accept it.

The interface will then display the amount you invested and the amount converted into rubles. Press Confirm and the machine will spit out rubles.

Note that there are two separate currency outlets for coins and banknotes.

Finally, the system will print the exchange receipt to you.

Withdraw money from ATM банкомат (банковский автомат automatic teller machine): You can find a UnionPay teller machine to withdraw money on the 2nd floor of the airport; or at the Airport Express ticket sales and entry area, there is a UnionPay teller machine where you can withdraw money. The maximum amount of a withdrawal is 8,000 RUB.

The handling fee is more than 10 yuan each time.

There are places to exchange foreign exchange in the streets and alleys of St. Petersburg and Moscow, which is very convenient. However, each exchange rate is different, so it is recommended that you understand the exchange rate before departure to avoid losses.

1 US dollar: 31.95 rubles, 1 yuan: 4.55-5.15 rubles. It seems that the cash limit is 5,000 US dollars or the equivalent in foreign currency.

Exchange for Russian rubles (a great way to save money in non-big cities) обмен валюта When going to Russia, dollars, euros, and renminbi are not accepted, only rubles.

Friends in Beijing must first go to the Bank of China to exchange Russian rubles (it takes about three days to make an appointment). The exchange rate given by the Bank of China at that time was 1 yuan to 5.13 rubles, and the exchange rate with a tour guide was 4.5!

220 yuan: 1000 rubles = 1: 4.55.

What I want to introduce to you here is that it doesn’t matter if you are not in Beijing. Go to the Capital Airport in advance to exchange. Although the exchange rate is not as high as that of Bank of China, it should be in the early 50s.

Of course, everyone remembers to swipe your card as much as possible. There is basically no place in Russia where you cannot swipe your card. You can swipe your card at McDonald's, and of course in supermarkets. You can buy a popsicle. You can just tip a little in the toilet.

If you swipe a card, the exchange rate will be better, which is basically around 5.3~ This can save a lot of money~ International currency exchange on September 14, 2013: 1 US dollar = 32.5380 Russian rubles.
