I truly believe in another 10 - 15 years Russia will become the number 1 destination for westerners wanting to immigrate to another country. You're ahead of your time Sam. I see an opportunity for you as an immigration consultant.

I should’ve moved to Russia 10 years ago but better late than never. I’m setting up to permanently move there next year from Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Adequate people from all over the world - unite, the meeting place is Mother Russia! A renaissance is coming in Russia and it is once again becoming a Great Empire, above all an EMPIRE OF the SPIRIT!

100% agree, you MUST visit Russia first, do not just buy land without knowing what, where, how and when…!!

Really clear and very useful information, thank you great Sam ! 🤙 I’m Ethiopian 🇪🇹 My choice is joining Russian 🇷🇺 military so I should finish my two home works , 👉 1 - learning russian language as fast as possible 👉 2- I should make physical exercise & update my physical appearance as possible I can ! Good luck 🍀 for everyone 💪 Uraaaa

I moved to Russia with my russian wife for good last year. The best decision ever, but of course I lived for some time here before so I knew what to expect and what to do. You are giving good advices Sam. I follow you also on Telegram

Всем добрым людям желаю благополучно переехать к нам в Россию , кто этого хочет. Хорошим людям мы всегда рады!😊

It's such a shame it took a war to highlight just how nice Russia is, how clean and beautiful it is, I'd love to live in Russia, especially with this political climate, I'd hedge my bets with putin over our wef puppet politicians in the west😢

Studying in Russia as a student might be a good option.

My wife is Ukrainian, we are moving to Russia using the resettlement program for ex soviet citizens and their families. Another option for ex soviets or children of. Good vid!

As a follower of this channel, I think your material is improving in terms of both topics you choose and the quality. Best of luck and thanks for your work!

Brilliant, informative. Thanks, Sam.

If I was 20 years younger, I'd be booking a call with you Sam.. I'd advise anyone under 60 and living in this hell hole called the UK, to start thinking about settling in Russia, especially if you have a trade or profession to offer. The way things are going, those Europeans who are awake to what's happening in their homelands should be seriously contemplating getting the hell out asap. Russia will become the last bastion of western culture very soon. Great video Sam. I hope you get a lot of calls booked on your new website.

A quick comment on the 10000 dollar limit on cash coming into Russia. This is an undeclared limit. If you declare it, you can bring in as much as you wish at no cost other than filling out paperwork. Mind you, if you are leaving the US with that money, over $10,000 you need to fill out declaration paperwork as you are leaving the US. Again, no cost.

Hi Sam,my son is sending every month my pension money from the Netherlands to my Raiffeisen bank account I get a special code from my bank ,so until now no problem. 🎉

My wife and I are still in the researching stage. She's Belarusian and we have cousins in St. Petersburg, so I imagine the cities and villages are quite the same. When in Belarus life felt as it was the 60's and 70's to me. We're hoping that the war is over soon and the people get a reprieve from the globalist plans of a one world government with less issues for travel. You did a very good job explaining things. Thanks Sam.

I would go tomorrow! But, I am too old to go in and out.

Russia also has a Compatriot Policy. If you are a direct descendent of Russian Ancestry, the state will aid you in resettling in Russia.

Been waiting for ages for such a video. Thanks loads

Very informative

You can bring more than US$10,000 as long as you declare it to Customs. It's desirable to have some proof that the money was obtained legally. I got a letter from my bank stating that was part of the proceeds of the sale of my house. The customs officer will count every single note in every currency, and you'll have to make a declaration as to what you will do with the money. Western debit and credit cards do not work in Russia. Best currencies to bring are USD, Euro, GBP or CNY. The best way for Australians to get to Russia is by Emirates via Dubai to Moscow, or FlyDubai to other Russian cities. Australia is considered an "unfriendly country" so immigration will probably give you an interview before you can get a migration card. If applying for residency you need an apostilled National Police Certificate, which is only valid for 90 days from date of issue.

Hi Sam, your videos are never boring. That is useful information and advice. Pet Ksusha for me! 😸 I am ready for you to go on road trips.

I don't want to move to Russia but I always enjoy your videos Sam.

Great video Sam. Very well presented information.

Great video. I always enjoy you kids. Keep them coming!

Take me there hate it here in scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💓🇷🇺

The easiest way (and cheapest) to learn Russian language is to get Russian books. After reading 3-4 of them, one would be able to read and write very well. Then one needs the partner in conversation. And there is skype to help. And no need to pay hundreds or thousands $$ oг € or £. That is how i learned foreign language. Reading teaches proper spelling, conversation teaches pronunciation. And grammar comes from both. Just be dedicated and persistent and in no time you succeed

Hi Sam,would love to move to Russia!

You always have a lot of good advice. Thanks for sharing.

I am not moving anywhere, but your talk is most useful and interesting hints for making good living , you say the true facts. God bless your excellent excursions and nice walks through the village and pretty sceneries.

Sam, Im going to take your advise, i want to move to Russia, But I;m going to visit on a tourist visa and see Russia with my own eyes. If I like it, then i can make the move to apply for citizenship. My only hold back now is my mother who is in bad health here in the US, hopefully, one day I WILL get my chance to explore Russia and make my decision. . .

At last Spring has sprung..It's bl@@dy cold back here in UK..

Excellent video. No messing about, just straight to the point. You covered everything. I currently get a private visa to see my girlfriend. But the plan is to move next year. I'm learning the language before I move next year

Fellow expat here, lived in next door Georgia for about 7 years. Id love to live in Russia 🇷🇺 ❤️

Great Video!!!! Very informative, and Practical. The call option to talk to you is a GREAT idea!! nobody offers that. I'll be booking a call in May.

That was very helpful Sam 👍🏽

Sam, спасибо большое🙂 i was sold on the work visa until you mentioned the student visa. Im still learning Russian so this may be a better route to go. Great video! Cheer from the USA

Давно смотрю канал Сэма, но рад что англоязычное население меняет мнение о нашей стране.

Good video Sam. Very informative. Didn’t know about the work and student visa. Thank You

As an international truck driver, iv'e spent a lot of time in Russia and I love it. I'm now 56 and have saved all my life, so I'm financially independent. I speak, read and write Russian to a fairly good standard. I would love to move there, but worry that amid the current climate I wouldn't be welcome 😔

I wish I was 20 years younger, as I see what is happening here in the UK and Ireland,

Excellent video Sam. Very informative. Just to let you know Sam we joined your Telegram channel just now. We will most certainly be watching for your web site. Thank you for the information. We would love to setup a video conference with you when your website is ready.

WHAT A MAN .i Love YOU

I know it's amazing from my visits and as you know I am moving very soon Sam.

Not boring at all, on the contrary. Thank you Sam for the excellent video 👏👏 For the time being my move to Russia is still a dream (and I must admit I'm getting deflated with so many obstacles), but on the other way your information is very useful and maybe somehow it will help manifest dreams into reality 😊 And it's good to know we can talk if the time comes to more concrete plans.

❤❤❤❤❤❤ from 🇨🇦👍🏻❤❤❤❤ good video sam 🙂👍🏻 thank you for the info on how to move to Russia

Thanks for the video Sam

Hopefully am so happy to watch your video I will be so happy to have a conversation with you for more information about planning to move to Russia

Very helpful information. Thank you, Sam.

Sam, I get it, we're not at the stage of buying land, but I'm a mom of 7. I need to plan! Lol My kids and I went to Czech Republic on a 3 year visa. From prices I've seen on avito, i think it would be cheaper for me to buy a fixer upper dacha than rent since I have a large family. Am I wrong? Also, if I come as a student or worker can all my kids come with me? They are ages 2-19. :) Best to you from Illinois

Awesome video Sam

Sorry Sam.. This is an excellent video. You are a great videograrapher.

What about retired people?....I'm a Physician looking to retire here in the US in 3 yrs........divorced, maybe find a Russian orthodox lady. I'm Orthodox myself.

Dobroy den. GREAT common sense point made right away. (WHO in their right minds would want to or could go LIVE in another country WITHOUT visiting it first?

I have learnt Russian from Kenya in Africa. I love values. I don't have a lot of money but someone is gona give me for a one way ticket so if I come under a tourist visa, sign up for the military and then invite my family some months later

I am planning to move Piter in late summer with VKS. I have been in Russia 10+ times and you are totally right, first visit, get some friends and figure it out which city do you want to live. I am glad to see and know Russia and it's people.

Thank you... Very helpful

Sam that was not boring at all

Sam, maybe smth like "Moving to Russia Club"?

Great video Sam! If one day I decide to visit Russia i will certainly visit you! Maybe one day! Thanks a lot ❤️

If I were to go, which would be cool, I’d probably do a in-and-out tourist visa after I graduate and get my automotive degree. Just go stay for a summer in an apartment and learn some Russian and just hang out and see what’s going on.

You’ve been there 20 years already, Sam? What took you to Russia in the first place? Do you have an academic background with the language, or are you self taught? I started going to Russia in 1991 as a photographer to cover American tourists on Lake Baikal. I didn’t have the language then, but started to study it with teach yourself books. I went another 7 times to Russia as a photographer and writer, but I always had an interpreter as my Russian wasn’t good enough. I continued to study the language slowly, and in the last year improved my spoken Russian by joining Tandem, a language exchange site in which you meet people and practice their language as well they practicing their English. It has been very helpful. I love the idea of living there, but I feel I’m too old now at 77, although some more visits would be great if/when the war ends. I would not feel so comfortable there now, in case I inadvertently said the wrong thing to some Z types. We are officially enemies, unfortunately! Is this ever an issue for you? Really enjoying your channel, by the way! Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Gracias por los consejos Sam, tienes razón, primero visita Ruisa para conocer los pros y los contras antes de tomar una decisión.

Channel is getting better friend

thanks Sam, great and clear information and advice, My family and i are based in England, but in a couple of years we hope to move to Russia. We were actually married in Russia. My wife is Russian, I'm English, and we still have an apartment there. We visit every year. We have 2 daughters (7 & 12) who have duel citizenships and are fluent Russian. Its just me who can not speak Russian yet. Looking forward to more of your videos. 👍

I have a slight paranoia of being taken hostage and used as a pawn in the politics. I don't work for UK government and support everything Russia is doing but have some ties to US politics and intelligence. Like most people commenting here it's obvious to me who is defending the interests of decency and civilization - mother Russia.

Good vid would be nice to visit and meet people

Great video Sam! If I plan to visit Russia I will reach out to get more info on places to see and towns to visit.

I’ll be calling you on your website Sam. Very good idea))

Russia's bureaucracy still seems quite cumbersome. It's a tradition of sorts, going back centuries.

Finally some blue sky.

Great information dear Sam!

Thx Sam!

Step one: Go and Visit as a tourist. Step 2. Learn the language if you want to go to live there and you're not quite ready to make the move.

Hey Sam, when somebody invites you and you get an official invitation, this is a homestay visa. This can be extended without ever leaving the country. Extensions are for 90 days.

You nailed it 👏 i know i did the same ,i visited the country just as a tourist then i came back again to try to get my temporary residency but unfortunately bureaucracy didn't allow me for now ,.. BIG ADVICE for everyone: LEARN RUSSIAN! Without it your life will be very stressful, people there and the system is not like other global immigration based countries

If you want to come for longer time and learn language also... you can enroll into one of the Universities in St Pete or Moscow. Its a student visa, more flexible

Can I learn russian from russian University online overseas ? If so, how ?

I think student visa is the best option. You learn russian, you can work. And after you can apply for temporary residence and extend it and then get permanent. Next citizenship.

Hello Sir, Good Content! Could you please let us know how many Westerners, especially from the USA, UK, Australia, and Canada, have moved to Russia? Or could you please inform us about the number of English-speaking people living in Russia from the mentioned countries?

You live in a very beautiful neighborhood 🤩

When it comes to St. Petersburg i think it is a bit more easy to visit for a short time. (I am not sure if this is still the case) For example from Norway we did not even need a visa if we was only visiting St.P. for a weekend. If i for some reason suddenly get enough money, i will think about moving to Russia. 🙂

Lovely day How do you transfer funds from a western bank account to a Russian account ? Impossible ? Can we see the inside of your home ?

awsome information there sam well done

I would consider it, but I can hardly even afford fast-food meals here in the U.S. anymore.

Maria Zacharova said in an interview that there is an E-visa now. So you don't have to go to the embassy. I live very far from any embassy or consulate so it's a pain to just apply for a visa. Do you know anything about that E-visa?

-- Great video. Thanks! Please next time talk about the cost of renting an apartment and the cost of living in Russia. :)

I'm going to try to go to Russia and I hope they don't look at me too much like I'm nuts because I'll be crying with joy honestly from my heart ❤️

There is a shotage of truck-drivers in Russia. Everage salary is 180 000 rubles per month. The shortage is about 60 000 persons.

Pardon my term "Yank's" But quiet frankly - I have had a FN gutsful of them and their Hegemony that thankfully is now evaporating in front of their eyes

How much does it cost in general to say stay for 1 month in Russia...rent...bills...food...transport etc and would you recommend a place like Moscow or surrounds or elsewhere ...thanks 😊

Молодец Сам!😂

Very good english. You speak like my teacher of english in childhood.😁

Welcome, friends!)

Is there any age limit? We are both seniors.

IMHO, the biggest difficulty for a foreigner is the russian language

Hallo Sam.. I have only started watching your videos coupla days ago, and it is fascinating to see life in Russia, from a foreigner's perpective. I am a black guy from Cape town South Africa, and have always been curious about Russia. I just want to know how open minded russian people are when it comes to race relations. If you can make a video about that, it will be very helpful. I know there are videos on this topic, but i would like you take on it. Many thanks from Vernon.

Basic info, but still quite useful :) What I enormously respect is your approach - visit first and only then make long time decision :)
