Transferring currency to a Russian bank account

Question

Freelance

Good afternoon! Based on this question, I had a similar question:
Do I need to provide contracts or other documents if I transfer currency from a moneybrookers account (registered in my name) to a Russian bank account. That is, I translate myself. Translation notes are automatically marked HONORARIUM

Answer 1

Yes. Money coming from abroad and you have to explain why and why. This is by law. Another thing is that with certain amounts, and other factors unknown to me, you may well be able to transfer and not have any problems. You just have to remember that it's illegal.

Answer 2

I remember that it was necessary to explain about five years ago, I even had a standard application for this, but lately, at least in Sberbank, you could simply transfer money to an account (including a card account), no one questions did not ask. The amounts, however, were less than $30k :)

Answer 3

Only 2 countries have currency control - China and Russia. You must legally justify the appearance of money in your account, for this you can draw up an agreement (this may be a public offer) or a one-time invoice. Really small amounts (in my case it is no more than 10k$ per year) did not cause any repressions, but it is illegal.
