Hi! Im undergoing CLL when Im 20 or 21 and I have calculated the cost of surgery to be around 487,020 rubles. Excluding accomadation, which I plan on finding a hotel around 3000 rubles daily with a built in kitchen so I can cook, I plan on bringing out around 500000 rubles ( the max amt carried in cash to Russia) and spending it for the whole of my stay.

Question is, is 500000 rubles enough? Id hate to have to use my credit card or go into debt in Russia.

It was less than 250k for me, but I'm from St Petersburg so I didn't rent anything and I also went with the cheaper hospital out of the two. 3000 rubles daily seems rather expensive to me for a hotel, you can probably find an apartment for around 30k/month. You're probably going with the expensive hospital too and they're charging too much daily IMO, but I guess for international patients it's a better option because of visa support and stuff, idk.

May I make a suggestion though? Don't bring 500k rubles in CASH, walking around with that money isn't a good idea. Rather bring a CC and cashout only when needed then pay right away (or pay with CC if that's possible)

Thanks, I might pay with credit. Just that the doccuments mailed to me by Dr kuleesh and Dr Solomin said something about paying 400000 in cash.
