Tips 1:
Until you get your Resident Permit, most banks will refuse to open a card for you — they’ll say the process takes about a month. But when you extend your visa, come back immediately - it usually takes just one week.

Tips 2:
In China, Russian students often face difficulties opening a bank account. Here are a few tips to help speed things up:

If you're not from Moscow, tell the bank staff that your city is near Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, or other nearby countries. The farther you are from Moscow, the more likely they’ll be open to helping you.
