International fund transfers

International money transfers via SWIFT to Vietnamese bank accounts, such as BIDV, may take up to 5 days for conversion into VND. The exact commission depends on the specific bank involved in the transaction.

Transferring funds to a Vietnamese bank account from Russia can be challenging due to payment restrictions. Options may include: Using cryptocurrency platforms like Binance or Bybit to send funds to a local Vietnamese account. Some P2P (peer-to-peer) services might facilitate transfers. Direct bank transfers can be difficult. Some individuals offer informal money exchange services where RUB is transferred to their Russian account, and VND is provided in cash in Vietnam. However, be cautious and verify the trustworthiness of such services. For large sums, consider alternative payment arrangements or consult with financial experts specializing in international transfers.

The Zolotaya Korona (Golden Crown) service can be used to transfer money internationally. For currency exchange into Vietnamese Dong (VND), one can purchase US Dollars through Zolotaya Korona, which are then credited as VND to a Vietnamese bank account.

Commission details should also be reviewed during the process, though the exchange rate displayed usually incorporates all costs.

The Golden Crown service might allow sending USD to Vietnam with the possibility of receiving cash, but confirm the exact procedure and availability of cash pickup with the service provider.

Options include currency exchange points like Huu Nghi Mart (though rates may not be optimal), P2P crypto transactions (use with caution due to potential risks and platform policies), or direct bank transfers.

Compare fees and rates across different platforms and methods to find the most cost-effective solution.

'Zolotaya Korona' (KoronaPay) is a viable option that allows sending money abroad.

It's advisable to check the latest information on working services and their associated fees.

Transfers can be done via the bank's app by selecting 'transfers to another country' and then 'transfer via QR code'. Local money changers may sometimes offer even better rates.

Some users have reported success using the Sberbank app to transfer to BIDV via SWIFT codes (BIDVVNVX) or QR codes, with fees around 6% for a 2000 RUB transfer resulting in 629,500 VND. However, Ozon and Tinkoff have had issues with international transfers.

Paying for long-term accommodation (e.g., 3 months) in Vietnam with Russian Rubles can be complex. Direct bank transfers from Russia might incur high fees or be restricted. Using cryptocurrency exchanges like Bybit to convert RUB to stablecoins (USDT) and then to VND is a potential method, but carries risks. Alternatively, using P2P services or finding local exchangers who accept RUB might be options, though rates and reliability vary. It's crucial to research and compare transaction fees and exchange rates across different platforms.
