The Truth About Life In Russia | Why You Should Not Come!

hello my friends this video is not clickbait  these are legit reasons why you should not come to Russia do not come do not come do not come  I can't stress it enough no other channel is going to tell you what I'm going to tell you in  this video so please stick around pay attention and let me know if you have any other questions  there's so many channels telling you how great life in Russia is but they're not telling you  the difficult Parts the important parts on this video you're going to lear

n about many different  things that might complicate either your visit here as a tourist or your my immigration here as  a person who wants to live permanently in Russia and overall everything to do with Russia that's  going to be hard I'm here to tell you the truth so stick around until the end because they're just  going to get significantly more important now the title of the video is called don't come to Russia  and I named it that because I don't want you to come here unprepared there's man

y people who are  going to tell you so many different reasons why you should but I'm here to tell you the negative  things the real things and I've been living here for over a year and I've gathered all this  information during the most turbulent time in in recent Russian history so let's get into the  list one reason why you shouldn't come to Russia is if you don't even have a Russian visa now I  know that goes without saying but you would be surprised how many people just fly thinking they  ca

n come into Russia without a Visa Now in America it's obvious but so many other countries think  that they have open borders with Russia and this is not so so the beginning of this list is going  to start off very easy don't come to Russia if you don't have a Russian visa now if you're coming on  a tourist visa don't come to Russia if you intend to work here and make your life here I'm a special  case where I'm in a relationship obviously and I've made my way around Society I have income  I brou

ght cash into Russia and that's how I'm surviving but if you're thinking that you're  gonna work illegally in Russia well watch this very much I know it's very common sense that it's illegal  to be an illegal worker but where I come from obviously there's tons of illegal immigrants  who have jobs in Russia it's not that easy to get away with it because everywhere you go you  need paperwork paperwork paperwork paperwork now many of you guys who are watching perhaps  are Russian and you know the s

aying in Russian it's I don't know but senya says that without  paperwork you're [ __ ] and that just means that you're nothing without the paperwork and that  goes all the way back to having the right visa when you come into Russia do not come to Russia  if you're planning on working illegally inside another reason why you shouldn't come to Russia  is all of the sanctions going on right now it is very hard to get money from your country into this  country so if you're not prepared to struggle a

lot to figure out ways how to bring your money  into Russia simply do not come because you're not going to figure it out once you're inside  you need to be very prepared I'm lucky enough to where I live next to a border country and if  I need money I have to get out of Russia and come back legally with a legal amount of money this  is not a sustainable way to live and I would not want this for any of you guys but I'm doing this  because like I said I'm in a relationship here I'm making my life

here and that is just how it is  for me but if you're not ready to live like this simply do not come another very important topic  that a lot of people do not bring up is do not come to Russia just because you think it's cheaper  here because you think it's easier here because you think that the women are more beautiful here  that is not a reason why you should come in fact if these are the things that you're thinking why  you should come do not come to Russia this is not the 1990s where you can

call a phone and have a  Russian mail order bride we are not in that type of time anymore in fact it's it's non-existent if  you have nothing to offer these people if you're not a good person if you're just coming for  egotistical reasons do not come this is not a place where you're going to survive the people  can read through that immediately and in this this environment you're not going to thrive I know  that this video is turning into some sort of rant but I just get tired of answering ques

tions some  people are just so egotistical they're so in their heads of things they want to do in Russia because  they watch other videos but they don't understand that it's actually hard living here it's actually  a struggle to survive every month figuring out what you have to do how you're going to make  it uh just the legal issues that you're going to deal with they are things that you're going to  have to deal with once you're already inside but if you're not ready for them do not come to Ru

ssia  and by the way guys if what I'm saying is helping you please consider sharing this video with  somebody who's thinking about coming to Russia okay we need to share this information because  this is actually to prepare you who want to come these are going to be the struggles that you're  going to encounter if you're finding this video helpful like I said please share it and consider  subscribing and giving it a like thank you it helps the channel grow and it helps the community  grow and no

w we're going to move on to more more important topics of why you shouldn't come to  Russia and one thing is do not come to Russia if you think you're going to live here permanently  on a tourist visa like I mentioned before this is not a sustainable way of life if you think you're  going to be coming out of the country and back in out of the country and back in and try to make  a real life here without work without any legal paper to bind you to this land that is the wrong  intentions that you

have already do not come if you're just going to live here as a tourist as I'm  doing it I'm doing it the wrong way I'm telling you my mistakes I'm gonna leave the country in  November I'm going to come back get married and get or try to obtain some sort of residency I'm  telling you guys the things that nobody is going to tell you anywhere else you have to believe  me do not come to Russia if you're not ready to do things the right way coming from a Western  Country you think that the world is

a lot easier I'm guilty of it when I go to other countries I  think that the world is mine Russia has humbled me I want to take this time now to gear the video  into towards another Direction give you guys some answers I want to give you guys some  knowledge and some information now that I've told you why you shouldn't come to Russia we're  gonna hop into a bonus round of key informations that are going to help you prepare for when you  do come in the past I've made videos on how you can obtain

your Russian visa okay I'm going to  link that below so you can watch it you don't have to go through a travel agency or a Visa  agency you can do it yourself the paperwork is very simple my video is the most detailed video  on the internet right now so if you go watch it if you don't have a Visa yet you can go watch  it this is the first step in visiting Russia now I will say there are some countries that will  let you come on an e-visa where you don't have to actually have a physical visa and

go through  the whole uh just nerve wrecking uh process of getting a Visa sometimes I'm gonna link a link  uh a list of countries that you don't need a visa but if you don't have it yet remember I've already  made a video and you can see that one down below when you come to Russia the best way to bring  money is Cash remember it is very hard to bring money in all these people will talk about crypto  but if you're coming as a tourist for one week two weeks three weeks enough cash in physical  is

the best way to do it you're not going to get robbed don't think that oh what happens if  immigration sees me with ten thousand dollars listen this is this is a country of law nobody's  going to take your money when I first came into Russia I had that maybe that amount of money and  I was so nervous I said wow they're taking it out of my bag they're gonna count it surely they're  gonna take a little bit away because I know how it was in my country in Mexico I know how it is  in the United States

where they might miss counts maybe just come up with something that is not  going to happen in Russia if you're coming as a tourist bring cash you have no idea how many times  I get asked about the money problem right listen on average for a week let's just say you you  go all out and you want to enjoy yourself and you want to eat a lot just say you'll waste 100  maximum unless I don't know how much you're eating housing might cost you for a whole month 400 on  average okay so it's about five h

undred dollars to six hundred dollars a month to survive in Russia  alone that might be a lot for you that might be a little bit to others right I'm just giving you  like the average you don't need to start asking how do I bring money how much do I need just  take this video as the general guide for the average for everything as far as your money goes  you can actually open up a bank account with your non-russian citizenship with your passport so if  you're scared about holding all your money ca

sh open up a bank account it's there okay and then  put your money in and there you can turn it into rubles that is a safe way of carrying your money  inside of Russia and for the people who need their phone and need connected phone like line you can  go to MTS there you can get a SIM card pay a very low fee of maybe twenty dollars for unlimited  no it's even less it was like ten dollars for unlimited or something like this guys you could  have everything you need if you come as a tourist bank a

ccount SIM card and connected phone I hope  that I did truly discourage you to come to Russia if you're unprepared the point of this video  is to make sure that you're not coming without what you need and once you're inside I want you to  know the things that you need you can get they're simple ways of getting here now we're going to  talk about how to get into Russia but first of all don't come to Russia if you don't know how  to even get here you might end up in a country that you had no idea

was not Russia like one of  the Kyrgyzstan uh Kazakhstan if your flights go through different countries and they don't end up  in Russia right now during sanctions there's not a lot of countries that fly into Russia so right now  off the top of my head I'm gonna name you three countries that might have connections into Russia  directly with flights the first one is turkey that is if you're coming from the east coast of the  United States or Europe the second one is Mongolia okay Mongolia if you'

re coming from the western  side of the United States Australia and all these countries on this side of the world Mongolia is a  good connector and I think that Georgia opened up direct flights into Russia so these are the three  countries that I know of right now even during sanctions even during flights that don't exist  anymore these are the three countries that'll help you get into Russia do not come to Russia if  your flight goes through like Poland or I don't know all these different count

ries these a lot of  these countries will not fly direct into Russia a lot of people have said hey don't turn into that  channel that asks for likes asks for comments but the reason why I'm telling you guys is to comment  down below is because I think that this channel is one of the most engaging channels I actually  go out of my way every morning to look at every comment and try to answer you guys as much as  possible I try to give you the real information in real time I do research I go outsid
