I Have just attempted to set up an account with Advcash but immediately come up against a block. There is no option to select a UK passport in the ID verification process. Looks like the US is excluded as well. ---

@SeanFarley1964 Hello Sean, Advcash no longer works in the UK or the USA, I’m sorry, but it works in most countries in the world. I have to update the article.

@SeanFarley1964 It is not necessary hote reservation, you can put any hotel at random and then book another or the same one. In any case, on the Russian booking platform Zenhotels you can book accommodation with your UK card (some accommodation can also be booked without a card).

@SeanFarley1964 You don’t need transport tickets. You have to fill out application form. Follow this guide: > **[Russian Visa in the UK – Apply in 2026](https://russiable.com/getting-russian-visa-united-kingdom/)** > > Get a Russian visa from the UK in 2026 with the right documents, fees, and online form details.

hi thx for the info, I used **Advcash** to send money to a mir card, there are ID and card verification at certain points, but eventually completed it (with customer support: very helpful) transfer was almost instant. I will use this one in future sendnomad has gone dark, google playstore has removed its mobile app, plus there are multiple negative reviews on trustpilot Binance is no longer trading in russia, but it has been taken over via CommEX ---
