Минобрнауки России дало разъяснения иностранным студентам по вопросам начисления стипендии и использования международных платежных карт на территории РФ

✅ Все стипендии зачисляются на платежные карты «Мир» независимо от банка-эмитента. Никаких проблем с использованием карт «Мир» в России нет.

✅ Карты международных платежных систем, эмитированные иностранными банками, работают на территории РФ по правилам платежных систем, как на оплату в магазинах, так и на снятие наличных в банкоматах с учетом конвертации валют.

В ректораты российских вузов не поступали жалобы от иностранных граждан по поводу начисления стипендии и использования платежных карт иностранных банков.

The Ministry of Education and Science of Russia gave explanations to foreign students on the issues of calculating scholarships and using international payment cards in the territory of the Russian Federation

✅ All scholarships are credited to Mir payment cards regardless of the issuing bank. There are no problems with the use of Mir cards in Russia.

✅ The rectorates of Russian universities have not received complaints from foreign citizens about the accrual of scholarships and the use of payment cards of foreign banks.

❗️💳 General clarifications on the situation with money transfers through banks

On February 24, the US imposed restrictions on a number of large Russian banks. The list of SDN, which provides for the maximum possible restrictions, disconnection from the SWIFT system and a complete freeze of assets, includes banks: VTB, Bank Rossiya, FC Otkritie, Sovcombank, Promsvyazbank and Novikombank

❗️Attention: Sberbank is not on the SDN list. Sberbank offices and services operate as usual, customers can make all transactions without restrictions on cards and accounts

As of March 4, 2022, Visa and Mastercard payment systems still work both in Russia and abroad with banks that are not included in the SDN list.
Parents of foreign and Russian students can transfer money to student cards issued by both foreign and Russian banks not included in the SDN list in the account currency (dollar, ruble, euro)

💳 Students can pay with these cards at POS-terminals of banks that are not included in the SDN list, withdraw money from an ATM or convert it into rubles.
It is impossible to make such transactions at ATMs of banks from the SDN list (VTB, Bank Rossiya, FC Otkritie, Sovcombank, Promsvyazbank and Novikombank).
Parents of Russian students can send money in foreign currency from banks that are not included in the SDN list, both to cards of banks that are also not included in the SDN list, and to accounts of foreign banks where students have accounts opened and cards issued

🇬🇧 We recommend using MIR national payment cards in Russia.
For cross-border transfers, you can use cards of international payment systems of countries that have not joined the sanctions against the Russian Federation, for example, UnionPay International

Attention! Fraud activity has increased!
Today, new fraudulent schemes appear with high frequency.
Basically, the attackers use current socio-political and financial agendas, such as “imposing sanctions” and “disconnecting the Russian Federation from the SWIFT system”. It is very important not to lose vigilance and not to succumb to intimidation and panic. Funds of all clients on accounts
in Russian banks are saved and will always be available. Disabling some banks from SWIFT will not affect this in any way. SWIFT is just a financial messenger used by banks around the world, its shutdown creates inconvenience for the international activities of banks,
but has no effect on operations within the country. Remember, the main task of scammers is to convince you to transfer money to fake accounts.

Thank you #Ministry of Education for preparing information 🙏🏻👍🏻

ENG ⬇️ Visa and MasterCard work in Russia: details

Since March 5, 2022, the international payment systems Visa and MasterCard have announced the suspension of work on the territory of the Russian Federation

In this regard, cross-border transfers using VISA and MasterCard cards, if they are issued by Russian banks, will not be available

This applies both to paying for purchases in foreign online stores and using these cards abroad.
Technically, the suspension process will take several days, so anyone who has VISA and MasterCard cards issued by foreign banks in Russia and who has VISA and MasterCard cards issued by Russian banks abroad is recommended to walk to ATMs within 2-3 days and withdraw all money in cash

VISA and MasterCard international payment system cards issued by Russian banks will continue to operate in Russia as usual until their expiration date

Holders of these cards in Russia will be able to carry out operations at ATMs, pay with cards, make transfers from card to card

Current as of March 5, 2022, methods of cross-border money transfer to and from Russia:
1. Using the Mir card for those countries where it is accepted: Turkey, Vietnam, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
2. Using cards of international payment systems of countries that have not joined the sanctions against the Russian Federation, for example, UnionPay International
3. Classic bank transfers to current accounts of citizens, with the exception of accounts opened in Russian banks that are disconnected from SWIFT (VTB, Bank Rossiya, FC Otkritie, Sovcombank, Promsvyazbank and Novikombank), and only to current accounts in banks of countries that have not joined the US and EU sanctions. In this case, you need to personally come to the bank's branches to transfer or receive funds
4. The use of money transfer systems, for example, Golden Crown and Western Union, however, there are restrictions on the size and conditions of cross-border money transfer, which need to be clarified on the websites of these systems or in the offices that carry out such transfers
 
For reference, the composition of the states that joined the sanctions against Russia: USA, European Union (Austria, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Great Britain, Denmark, Jersey, Ireland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Albania, Gibraltar, Greece, Cyprus, Spain, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Slovenia, Croatia), Anguilla, British Virgin Islands (BVI), Canada, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, New Zealand

Dear student!

We would like to draw you attention to the new procedures every foreign student has to pass to stay legally on the territory of the Russian Federation within 90 days after his / her last entry. We need to make sure you are among those you have already undergone the procedures or are planning to do so within a few days. Please, spend about 3 minutes of your time to answer a few questions we have.

You can find more information about the procedures at https://istudents.hse.ru/en/newprocedures. You can undergo the procedures on your own if you take a Russian speaking buddy with you.

If you have already completed the procedures, please, send us copies of the documents you received to isdocuments@hse.ru. If you haven’t it’s the good time to start!

Please, complete the questionnaire - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc6-xlAGkg08ZlU1P5JLw1Hu410bo5PippMOBikdDje9Pxztg/viewform

Друзья! 

На последнем заседании Студсовета подняли вопрос о том, что есть ряд жизненно важных, психологических лекарственных препаратов, линз и др, которые перестали поставляться в Россию или цена на которые выросла в несколько раз.

Мы хотим собрать список таких препаратов и передать через администрацию университета в Департамент здравоохранения Москвы и другие организации, чтобы узнать о причинах прекращения поставок и предложить варианты улучшения ситуации.

Если вам нужны лекарства, которые перестали завозиться в Россию, напишите Маргарите или Марии. Если вы хотите сохранить анонимность, вы можете написать со стороннего адреса на почту mm30@yandex.ru

Очень важен ваш фидбек!
Ваш Студсовет.
Friends!

If you are having trouble finding your medicines in Russia or the prices of your medicines have increased manifolds, please send the medicine name and any relevant details to Margarita or Maria. If you want to remain anonymous, you can write from a third-party address to mm30@yandex.ru

The Student Council is listing such medicines and plan to send it through the university administration to the Moscow Department of Health and other organizations in order to find out the reasons for the cessation of supplies and offer options for improving the situation.
