Information for foreign participants

Please kindly note that due to restrictions on the use of foreign bank cards in Russia, it is recommended to pay for participation in two ways:

Currency and bank card transactions

Currency exchange

Please note the following currency exchange restrictions:

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 SPIEF 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 SPIEF 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 SPIEF 2024 venue.
