    As of 30 September 2025, Schwab has introduced a new policy where they refuse to wire funds to Russia, even to banks not sanctioned by anyone.

    Over the years, I've used several services. Most frequently, I use GotoRussia whose offices are in Atlanta. They've done well for us with many different visa types. (Private stay, tourist, business, common humanitarian). I've also used Russia-visacentre.com and their service was also good. Truth be told, I haven't had a bad experience these 20+ years though.

    We fly to Siberia through Dubai. Our friends who have used Istanbul have experienced frequent, unacceptable changes in connection times that have interfered with originating flights in the interior of the USA needed to get to a Turkish Air US-based departure airport. Similarly, onward connections there have reported been sometimes unreliable. Dubai is more expensive. The international terminal is amazing. The terminal we use to fly to Russia less so. For us, layovers have gotten longer this year because number of flights into Russia have decreased. We fly in June/July/September and I can mention experience later.
