Maybank Horizon Visa Signature Card – MoneySmart Review 2022
Maybank doesn’t advertise its cards aggressively like its competitors do. They’re relatively low-key, but those who pay attention to them are often rewarded.
Take the Maybank Horizon Visa Signature Card, for instance. This unassuming air miles card actually gives you up to 3.2 miles per $1 spent. Plus, the annual fee is waived for 3 years, which is an eternity in the credit card world.
Let’s see if this card is really all that.

1. Maybank Horizon Visa Signature Review
The Maybank Horizon Visa Signature is an air miles credit card. That means you earn air miles as you spend. These miles can then be converted to KrisFlyer miles and credited to your account, and eventually exchanged for free air tickets.
The card distinguishes itself with a pretty attractive earn rate of up to 3.2 miles for every dollar spent. The 3.2 = $1 earn rate can be had on restaurant dining, petrol, public transport (including Grab and taxi rides) and hotel bookings at Agoda.com/horizon.
You can also earn 2 air miles per dollar spent on air tickets, travel packages, cruise packages and foreign currency transactions, whether online or overseas.
Maybank Horizon Visa Signature
Key features.
Earn 2.8 air miles (7X TREATS Points) for every S$1 spent on air tickets and foreign currency transactions when you charge a min. of S$800 per calendar month
Earn 1.2 air miles (3X TREATS Points) for every S$1 spent on all local shopping, groceries, dining, hotel bookings and many more
Complimentary lounge access with minimum spend of S$1,000 in a single transaction on a retail purchase, accompanying guest(s) enjoys 20% off walk-in rates for lounge access.
Complimentary Travel Insurance up to S$1,000,000
3 years annual fee waived; spend min. S$18,000 per year to get subsequent waiver
2. Maybank Horizon Visa Annual Fee, Minimum Income
The Maybank Horizon Visa Signature Card is an entry-level card, which means Singaporeans and PRs can apply for it with a minimum income of $30,000.
3. Maybank Horizon Visa Signature Miles & Expiry
Here’s a cheat sheet for how to earn air miles with the Maybank Horizon Visa Signature Card:
- 3.2 miles = $1 (8X TREATS points) on dining, petrol, public transport (including Grab and taxi rides) and hotel bookings at Agoda.com/horizon
- 2 miles = $1 (5X TREATS points) on air tickets, travel packages, cruise packages and foreign currency transactions, whether online or overseas.
- 0.4 miles = $1 (1X TREATS points) on other spending
To earn the 5X and 8X bonus TREATS points, you need to spend at least $300 in a calendar month. Otherwise, you just earn points at the measly 1X TREATS points earn rate, which translates to a pathetic 0.4 miles per $1 spent.
You are also entitled to a maximum of 30,000 Bonus TREATS points per calendar month. Bonus points are any points above the usual 1X TREATS points earn rate. If you only spend on stuff that can earn you 5X or 8X TREATS points, that translates to about $4,286 to $7,500 worth of spending, which is plenty, so unless you’re a real high roller or spending on something huge in a particular month there’s not much need to worry about hitting the cap.
The bad news is that TREATS points expire in one year from the quarterly period in which they were earned. So don’t forget to convert them to miles before you lose them.
4. Maybank Horizon Visa Signature Lounge Access
In theory, the card entitles you to complimentary lounge access at the following places:
- Ambassador Transit Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport
- Plaza Premium Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport
- Kuala Lumpur International Airport
- Hong Kong International Airport
But in practice, many cardholders will never qualify for these elusive passes.
That’s because to receive one lounge pass, you must spent at least $1,000 in a single retail transaction within 3 months prior to the date of lounge access. In other words, you must make one single purchase costing at least $1,000. And you’re limited to one lounge pass per 3 month period.
5. Maybank Horizon vs AMEX KrisFlyer
The AMEX KrisFlyer Credit Card is another entry-level air mile credit card. Can’t decide between the two? Here are the key differences.
When it comes to bonus miles, the Maybank Horizon Visa Signature is more generous than the AMEX KrisFlyer, and also lets you earn them on a wider range of spending categories.
However, one of the AMEX KrisFlyer’s biggest advantages is its attractive welcome bonus. To qualify for the full welcome bonus, you need to spend at least $2,000 in the 3 months.
By contrast, the Maybank Horizon Visa Signature offers a free Samsonite suitcase. You need to spend $300 for the first two months consecutively in order to qualify. Sure, it’s worth $550, but if you don’t actually need a new suitcase, it could just end up being another useless item taking up space in your home.
American Express Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Credit Card
1.1 KrisFlyer miles = S$1 for all eligible card spend
2 KrisFlyer miles = S$1 in foreign currency spent overseas in June & December with no cap
2 KrisFlyer miles = S$1 for eligible purchases made on singaporeair.com, SingaporeAir mobile app and KrisShop with no cap
3.1 KrisFlyer miles = S$1 for eligible Grab Singapore transactions, capped at S$200 per month
Receive 5,000 KrisFlyer miles upon first spend on card, applicable for first-time American Express Singapore Airlines Credit Card applicants only
Spend S$12,000 or more on eligible purchases on singaporeair.com within the qualifying period and receive S$150 cashback on your next purchase on singaporeair.com

MoneySmart shall not be liable to compensate the Customer should the information is not as updated as our Partner.
6. How to maximise my Maybank Horizon Visa Signature Card?
To maximise your air miles earning power, you want to use your card whenever you can qualify for the 3.2 miles = $1 earn rate. That means hooking up your card to ride sharing apps and SimplyGo for bus and MRT rides, and always using the card when you eat out or pump petrol.
You should also use it for your travel expenses, from flight reservations to spending money at your holiday destination. Another thing you can use the card for is online shopping, just remember to select the foreign currency option instead of SGD.
7. Maybank Horizon Visa Signature Promotion
Sign up for the card now, spend $300 for the next two consecutive months and you get a Samsonite Harts 68/25 Spinner suitcase worth $550.
The promotion is limited to the first 4,500 new-to-Maybank applicants.
If you don’t make it into the first 4,500 applicants, you receive $100 cash credit.
8. Should I get the Maybank Horizon Visa Signature?
The Maybank Horizon Visa Signature is an entry level air miles card with a decent bonus miles earn rate.
If you’re a big spender, this is a good card to have, especially as there are many ways to earn the bonus miles other than just overseas spending. In particular, if you eat out a lot or spend a lot on transportation, you’ll be able to really max out your air miles.
However, if you’re just looking for a card with a generous welcome bonus, you might better off with a card like the AMEX KrisFlyer.

Let’s look at the details
Paying for travel smart expandable section.
Full payment will be taken on your start date and shown on your statement.
If you’ve opted in, you’ll get a push notification before you travel so you know when Travel Smart is due to start. You can manage your push notification settings in the app. If you don’t get push notifications, we’ll send you a text message. You can keep your mobile number up to date in the app .
Please check there’s enough money in your account to cover the payment. If we can’t take the payment due to insufficient funds, Travel Smart will get cancelled.
When it starts and ends
It starts on the date you select at 00.01am UK time. It ends at 11:59pm UK time on the last day of your week(s).
How much could I save during one week abroad? expandable section
Our debit card fees.
Depending on the way you use your card, there are different debit card fees that you may have to pay. With Travel Smart added on your account for £7 a week, we won’t charge these fees for your selected weeks (up to 6 weeks a year) when you use your debit card for that account abroad.
These debit card fees are:
- A foreign currency transaction fee (2.99%)
- A foreign currency purchase fee (£0.50)
- A foreign currency cash fee (£1.50)
- A foreign cash fee (£1.50)
Find out more about these fees and when they are charged.
We won’t charge our debit card fees on transactions or withdrawals at home or abroad where a Silver, Gold, Platinum and Premier current account debit card has been used. We won’t charge the foreign currency purchase fee, the foreign currency cash fee or the foreign cash fee for debit card transactions in Euro within the EEA or UK.
Here’s an example of what the debit card fees would be if you are a customer holding a UK (not Channel Islands) Classic current account, with and without Travel Smart, and using your card abroad. This example assumes you do not ask the cash machine or terminal provider to convert the transaction into pounds.
How many weeks do I get? expandable section
Understanding my weeks.
Each year, you can add up to six weeks of Travel Smart to your account. This limit is applied from 1 January 00.01am UK time and resets on 31 December at 11.59pm. Unused weeks do not carry over.
How to use my weeks
Each time you book a trip, you can add one or more weeks to your account (up to six).
Track my weeks
We show you a summary of your trips and how many weeks you’ve booked, including any upcoming weeks.
What's included? expandable section
Once Travel Smart is added, you can use your debit card to:
- Make payments with your debit card abroad.
- Take out money in a foreign currency or sterling at an ATM or over the counter, outside the UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man.
- Make payments in a foreign currency for your trip over the internet (such as booking an activity).
- You won’t have to pay our normal debit card fees unless the transaction is excluded. Instead, we will charge you a fixed fee, for the number of weeks you choose no matter how many transactions you make with Travel Smart.
What's not included? expandable section
Any business transactions are excluded from this service and our normal debit card fees will apply.
Travel Smart only applies to our charges. You may still have to pay separate charges for currency conversion if you ask the overseas service provider to do this. For example, if you choose to pay with your card in Pounds Sterling, you may incur a currency conversion charge by the overseas provider. Also some ATM providers may charge a fee.
Removing Travel Smart expandable section
- You can remove Travel Smart until 11:59pm on the day before your start date. You can do this through our app and Internet Banking. If you have a joint account, either of you can do this.
- If you’re within your 14 day cancellation period, you can still remove Travel Smart after it starts. This period starts on the day you get your terms and conditions. You’ll get a refund for any weeks you’ve paid for but can’t use (please refer to your terms and conditions).

The Best Credit Card for You? 3 Steps to Help You Decide
The best credit card for you depends on your lifestyle and regular spending habits. Here are 3 steps to help you decide which credit card is best for you.
Find a card that fits your spending habits
Think about your current lifestyle and spending habits. What are the things you spend the most money on? For example, if you’re a real foodie and spend a lot on dining out, then it makes sense to get a card with double rewards points for eating out and useful perks like 1-for-1 deals at restaurants.
Plan how to use your credit card benefits
Credit cards come with a whole plethora of benefits for cardholders. You’ll need to narrow things down by focusing on the benefits that you would actually use. Do you want to collect air miles and fund your upcoming travels? Or accumulate points for shopping vouchers? Or would you rather enjoy cash rebates? This is a deeply personal matter, so it’s worth considering how you like to be rewarded.
Check the Terms & Conditions
Now that you’ve got a shortlist of credit cards, it’s time to dig deeper into the details of the rewards or air miles programmes. Find out all you can about terms and conditions like expiry dates, exclusions, minimum spend, credit limit, etc. Be sure to ask a bank rep to clarify if you don’t see answers anywhere.
Common Credit Card Fees
Annual fees aren’t the only type of credit card charges you might be paying. Many of these other common fees will impact the benefits you earn, so be mindful of them and actively monitor your spend.
Balance Transfer Fees
Charged when you move a balance from one card to another, usually 2-4% of the amount transferred.
Cash Advance Fees
Some credit cards allow you to withdraw cash from ATMs, using your credit line. Be prepared to fork out up to 6% of the transaction amount, plus 2%+ daily charges on unpaid withdrawn balance.
Foreign Transaction Fees
Charged for transactions processed outside of Singapore, whether while you’re travelling or making an online purchase. This is usually 2.5% to 3% on top of the prevailing foreign exchange rate.
Did you know?
Paying the minimum balance can be very costly, your credit card behaviour affects your credit score.

Local authorities may adopt a more negative attitude towards foreigners in Russia in reaction to perceived support for Ukraine and sanctions on Russia. Non-participating bystanders can draw scrutiny from security forces and have been detained. Remain vigilant, avoid protests or demonstrations, and avoid commenting publicly on political developments.
- There's a high ongoing threat of terrorism. Terrorist groups, including al-Qaeda and Daesh-aligned groups, continue to call for attacks in Russia. Attacks can be indiscriminate and may occur on or around seasonal, festive, or religious events in public places, including popular tourist sites. Attacks may occur with little or no warning. Always be alert to possible threats and have a clear exit plan. On 22 March, there was a terrorist attack at Crocus City Concert Hall, resulting in significant loss of life. Security measures or restrictions may continue to be in place across the country. Follow the advice of local authorities.
- Security incidents, such as drone attacks and explosions, often occur in southern and western areas of Russia, including regions bordering Ukraine, Moscow, and St Petersburg. This can cause significant flight delays and travel disruption. You shouldn't attempt to travel to the Russia-Ukraine border or cross into Ukraine from Russia.
- The security situation could deteriorate further with little warning. If you're in Russia, leave immediately using the commercial options available or private means if it's safe to do so. Departure routes from Russia may become disrupted at short notice, so have an alternate exit plan.
- If you decide to stay in Russia, review your personal security plans. You're responsible for your own safety and that of your family. Our ability to provide consular assistance in Russia is limited. The Australian Government won't be able to evacuate you from Russia.
- There are limited transportation options, restrictions on financial transactions and possible shortages of essential products and services.
- The Russian Government has introduced a 'medium response level' in several regions of Russia, including Krasnodar, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kursk, and Rostov and a 'heightened preparedness level' in the remainder of the Central and Southern Federal districts. A basic readiness level covers the rest of Russia. There may be an increase in security personnel and installations. Security measures or restrictions may be introduced with little to no notice. Monitor the media for developments.
- Continue to follow the advice on Smartraveller. If you have significant concerns for your welfare or that of another Australian, contact the Consular Emergency Centre on 1300 555 135 in Australia or +61 2 6261 3305 outside Australia.

Full travel advice: Health
- Foreigners, including Australians, are at ongoing risk of arbitrary detention or arrest. Russian authorities may arbitrarily enforce local laws. You may be interrogated without cause by Russian officials and may become a victim of harassment, mistreatment, and extortion
- Russia may subject males it regards as Russian to mobilisation, regardless of any other citizenship held. Laws introducing heavy penalties for 'crimes against military service' have been passed. The Australian Government won't be able to intervene if you're mobilised.
- Conscription occurs regularly in Russia. The Government may subject males it regards as Russian to mandatory conscription, regardless of any other citizenship held. The maximum age of conscription is 30 years old. Draft notices can be serviced to the conscripts online, preventing conscripts from leaving the country once the notice is registered and sent.
- Russia has passed laws that severely restrict free speech, imposing severe restrictions on the publishing and distribution of information related to the Russian armed forces and any military operations. Foreign journalists and other media workers in Russia may face considerable risks, including arrest and imprisonment. Don't share or publish information about current events in Ukraine and Russia.
- Don't use or carry any illegal drugs. Penalties are severe. Carry your passport, visa, and migration card at all times. Authorities won't accept copies.
- Don't take photos of military places or sensitive areas, such as passport control. Using commercial film, television, camera equipment, or drones in public is also illegal without permission.
- Russia doesn't recognise dual nationals. We can only provide limited consular assistance to dual nationals who are arrested or detained. To leave, you'll need a valid Russian passport.
- Same-sex relationships are technically legal but are not widely accepted. Violence against members of the LGBTI community occurs. Russia bans "LGBTQIA+ propaganda", criminalising any act regarded as an attempt to promote what Russia calls "non-traditional sexual relations". The promotion of LGBTQIA+ issues may be considered illegal by local authorities, and activists may face consequences under Russian law. Gender changes without medical requirements are banned. The law also annuls marriages in which one person "changed gender" and prevents transgender couples from adopting children.
Law enforcement agencies in Russia cooperate closely with agencies in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries. If you commit an offence in one of these countries, you may be detained in another (including at the border) and extradited for prosecution.

- If you're in Russia, leave immediately using the commercial options available or private means if it's safe. The security situation could deteriorate further with little warning. If you decide to stay in Russia, review your personal security plans. You're responsible for your own safety and that of your family. Have an alternate exit plan.
- If you plan to depart Russia, confirm with your transport operator that services are still operating. Commercial travel routes between Russia and Europe are often disrupted due to measures taken in response to military action in Ukraine. Several Russian airports are now closed to the public, disrupting internal flights to and from Moscow and other cities. Finland has closed its land and maritime borders with Russia indefinitely.
- Confirm the entry requirements before arrival if you're travelling through an overland border crossing into Estonia or Latvia . Latvia introduced an entry ban on vehicles registered in Russia in September 2023. There's a ban on vehicles crossing into/from Estonia at the Ivangorod- Narva crossing. Train services are also suspended. Entry and exit on foot is allowed. Additional restrictions or entry requirements could be imposed or changed suddenly. Be aware that some borders may close without notice. Australia and other countries have placed sanctions on Russia. Russia's response to these sanctions may disrupt travel and affect travellers.
- Russian airlines and railways may be affected by shortages of parts and essential technical components for their fleets, which could affect maintenance and safety standards. Research your railway and aviation provider before choosing their services. The International Civil Aviation Organisation has issued a Significant Safety Concern (or 'red flag') notice regarding Russian airlines' capacity to oversee safety.
- If, despite our advice, you decide to enter Russia, expect thorough security checks at the border, including questioning and inspections of electronic devices. Entry requirements can change at short notice. Contact your airline or the nearest embassy or consulate of Russia to confirm entry requirements.
- Bank cards issued outside of Russia don't work in Russia. You won't be able to access funds from these cards once you enter Russia. You may not be able to exchange Australian dollars or old, worn, or damaged US dollar and euro banknotes into Russian rubles in Russia. Ensure you have enough money to cover your stay.
- Dual nationals can't leave Russia without a valid Russian passport. If your passport expires while you're in Russia or if you enter Russia using a repatriation certificate, you'll need to get a new one before you leave. This can take up to 3 months. The Australian Government is unable to intervene or fast-track this process.

If, despite our advice, you travel in the border region, read our Georgia travel advice .
Security situation
Security incidents, such as drone attacks and explosions, often occur in southern and western areas of Russia, including regions bordering Ukraine, Moscow, and St Petersburg. This can cause significant flight delays and flight cancellations. You shouldn't attempt to travel to the Russia-Ukraine border or cross into Ukraine from Russia.
The security situation could deteriorate further with little warning. If you're in Russia, leave immediately using the limited commercial options available or private means if it's safe to do so. Departure routes from Russia may become disrupted at short notice. If you decide to stay in Russia, review your personal security plans. You're responsible for your own safety and that of your family.
The Russian Government has introduced a 'medium response level' in several regions of Russia, including Krasnodar, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kursk, and Rostov and a 'heightened preparedness level' in the remainder of the Central and Southern Federal districts. A basic readiness level has been introduced in the rest of Russia. There may be an increase in security personnel and installations. Security measures or restrictions may be introduced with little to no notice. Monitor the media for developments.
Ukraine border areas and Crimea
The Russia-Ukraine border is volatile due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Security incidents regularly occur in Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, and other regions of Russia bordering Ukraine, including explosions and large fires. The security situation in the region could deteriorate at short notice. You shouldn't travel to the Russia-Ukraine border or cross into Ukraine from Russia.
We currently advise you do not travel to Ukraine due to the volatile security environment and military conflict. Read the Ukraine travel advice for more information.
The Australian Government doesn't recognise Russia's claimed annexation of the Ukrainian region of Crimea or its other territorial claims in occupied Ukraine.
Leaving Russia
Where it's safe to do so, you should leave Russia immediately. Use your judgment to decide the best time and safest means of exit.
Transport routes may be disrupted. Plan for delays at land border crossings. Expect disruption to travel and changes at short notice. Make sure you have an adequate supply of food, water, medication, and fuel. Make sure you have payment options that will work during your journey and at your destination.
Read your destination's travel advice to ensure you meet the entry requirements. These may differ when entering by road, rail, or air. Be aware that some borders may close without notice. Commercial travel routes between Russia and Europe have been impacted by measures taken in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Check with your airline or travel agent for current flight availability. Any travel options you pursue are at your own risk. See ' Travel '.
For more information on entry requirements for countries bordering Russia, read the travel advice:

Civil unrest and political tension
Foreigners, including Australians, are at ongoing risk of arbitrary detention or arrest.
Russian authorities may adopt a more negative attitude towards foreigners in Russia due to perceived support for Ukraine and sanctions on Russia. Russian authorities may arbitrarily enforce local laws. You may be interrogated without cause by Russian officials and may become a victim of harassment, mistreatment, and extortion.
Russia's parliament has passed laws that severely restrict free speech. Foreign journalists and other media workers in Russia may face considerable risks, including arrest and imprisonment.
While the effects of this law are still unclear, you may be detained or fined for:
- sharing or publishing information that local authorities deem false
- sharing or publishing information that may be detrimental to the armed forces
- calling for, sharing, or publishing speech in support of sanctions against Russia
You should not:
- share or publish information related to the current events in Ukraine and Russia
- participate in demonstrations and large gatherings
Avoid commenting publicly on political developments.
Anti-war and anti-mobilisation protests have taken place in cities across Russia over the invasion of Ukraine. Many protesters have been arrested.
Unsanctioned protests are illegal, and you can be arrested if you participate. Remain vigilant and avoid rallies, protests, demonstrations, and other large public gatherings, as they can turn violent, and you may be arrested.
Theft and assault
Petty crimes, pickpocketing and muggings are common. Groups of children sometimes commit crimes, too.
Hot spots for crime include:
- the Izmailovsky Market
- other tourist attractions
- the Moscow and St Petersburg metros
Thieves often steal passports. They target travellers in robberies and assaults , particularly in large cities.
To protect yourself from theft and assault:
- keep your personal belongings close, particularly in tourist areas
- be aware of your security in public places, particularly at night
- monitor local media on crime
- racially or religiously motivated assaults may occur throughout Russia.
Drink spiking
Criminals may drug and rob travellers at nightclubs and bars. This sometimes happens after accepting offers of food, drink, or transportation from strangers.
To protect yourself from spiking-related crime:
- never accept food or drinks from strangers
- don't leave drinks unattended
- leave your drink if you're not sure it's safe
- stick with people you trust in bars, nightclubs, and taxis
- don't accept offers of transport from strangers
More information:
- Partying safely
Using taxis
People have reported extortion and robbery while taking unauthorised taxis.
To protect yourself from robbery while travelling in taxis:
- only use official taxi apps or companies
- don't flag down taxis on the street
- don't share taxis with strangers
- always negotiate and confirm the fare before you get in a taxi
Credit card and ATM fraud
Credit card and ATM fraud is common.
To protect yourself from fraud:
- only exchange currency at banks
- keep your credit card in sight during transactions
- only use ATMs inside banks and during business hours
- always hide your PIN
Other scams
Criminals may try to cheat you by changing money in the street or a bank queue.
Some Australians have been victims of fraud by bogus internet friendship, dating and marriage schemes operating from Russia.
These are large-scale, well-organised scams .
Criminals arrange to meet people through internet dating schemes or chat rooms. After getting to know you, the criminal will ask you to send money so they can travel to Australia. However, the relationship ends after the money has been received, and the funds can't be recovered.
Be wary of people you meet through internet dating schemes or chat rooms.
People have also reported harassment, mistreatment and extortion by police and other local officials.
If you suspect you're being extorted by a police officer or other local official, offer to walk with them to the nearest police station. Once there, you can check their identity and their demands.
Cyber security
You may be at risk of cyber-based threats during overseas travel to any country. Digital identity theft is a growing concern. Your devices and personal data can be compromised, especially if you're connecting to Wi-Fi, using or connecting to shared or public computers, or Bluetooth.
Social media can also be risky in destinations where there are social or political tensions or laws that may seem unreasonable by Australian standards. Travellers have been arrested for things they have said on social media. Don't comment on local or political events on your social media.
More information:
- Cyber security when travelling overseas
Kidnapping is common in parts of the Northern Caucasus.
It can be for:
- political purposes
- retribution
Foreigners have been targeted in the past.
If, despite the risks, you travel to an area where there is a particular threat of kidnapping:
- get professional security advice
The Australian Government's longstanding policy is that it doesn't make payments or concessions to kidnappers.
Climate and natural disasters
Severe weather during winter can disrupt travel in Russia.
To protect yourself from accidents caused by severe weather:
- take care when walking in snowy, icy or windy conditions
- take care when driving
- use appropriate driving equipment, such as winter tyres or chains
- monitor the media and other sources for updates
If you're delayed, contact local authorities about a visa extension if required.
Spring flooding caused by melting ice is common in some parts of Russia.
In April, severe flooding affected multiple settlements in over 30 regions across Russia, including the Urals and Western Siberia. Thousands of people have been evacuated.
If you are in Russia, monitor the media and follow the advice from local authorities.
Snow and ice
Wind, snow, and ice-related accidents injure and kill people annually. These include:
- traffic accidents
- collapsed roofs and snow falling from roofs
- falling debris
- prolonged exposure to extreme cold
Slipping on ice can result in serious injuries, such as broken bones, back injuries, or paralysis.
During summer, forest and peat fires can occur in Russia, including in the Moscow region.
Earthquakes and tsunamis
The North Caucasus and the far eastern region of Russia can experience earthquakes .
Tsunamis are common in all oceanic regions of the world.
To protect yourself from natural disasters, take official warnings seriously.
If a natural disaster occurs, follow the advice of local authorities.
Get updates on major disasters from the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System .
Travel insurance
Most Australian travel insurance policies won't cover you for travel to Russia. Do not travel to Russia. See ' Safety '
You may have to pay thousands of dollars up-front for medical care if you're not insured.
Physical and mental health

Medications
Not all medications available over the counter or by prescription in Australia are available in other countries. Some may even be considered illegal or a controlled substance, even if prescribed by an Australian doctor.
Russia has temporarily restricted exporting certain categories of goods, including foreign-made medical products.
If you plan to bring medication, check if it's legal in Russia. Take enough legal medication for your trip.
Russia has strict laws about the import and use of medications, including medications that are available over the counter in Australia, such as cold and flu tablets.

Health risks
Tick-borne diseases.
Tick-borne encephalitis (World Health Organization) and other tick-borne diseases are a risk, especially if you travel through forested areas.
Ticks are common in rural areas from spring to autumn: April to October.
People have reported increased incidents of tick-borne encephalitis.
Measles cases can routinely occur in Russia, with the country currently experiencing increased measles activity. Make sure your vaccinations are up to date before you travel.
- Measles immunisation service (Department of Health and Aged Care)
HIV/AIDS is a risk.
Take steps to reduce your risk of exposure to the virus.
There have been reports of rabies across Russia.
Rabies is deadly. Humans can get rabies from mammals, such as:
- dogs
- other animals
If you're bitten or scratched by a dog, monkey, or other animal, get treatment as soon as possible.
Other health risks
Waterborne, foodborne, parasitic, and other infectious diseases are common, including these listed by the World Health Organization:
- typhoid
- measles
- tuberculosis
Serious outbreaks sometimes occur.
To protect yourself from illness:
- drink boiled water or bottled water with sealed lids
- avoid ice cubes
- avoid uncooked and undercooked food, such as salads
- avoid unpasteurised dairy products
Get urgent medical attention if you have a fever or diarrhoea or suspect food poisoning.
Medical facilities
Public medical facilities in Russian cities are below Australian standards.
Standards are extremely basic in rural areas.
There are a few international-standard private facilities in major cities – these clinics can be very expensive to access.
Before you're treated, private facilities need either:
- up-front payment
- evidence of adequate insurance
- a written guarantee of payment
If you become seriously ill or injured, you'll need to be evacuated to get proper care. Medical evacuation can be very expensive.
You're subject to all local laws and penalties, including those that may appear harsh by Australian standards. Research local laws before travelling.
Foreigners, including Australians, are at ongoing risk of arbitrary detention or arrest. If you're arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you under our Consular Services Charter . But we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.
The Russian security services have arrested US citizens on spurious charges, singled out US citizens in Russia for detention and/or harassment, denied them fair and transparent treatment, and have convicted them in secret trials and/or without presenting credible evidence. The US Government warns that Russian officials may unreasonably delay consular assistance to detained US citizens.
Russian authorities have introduced criminal liability for publishing and distributing anything they consider 'deliberately misleading' about the Russian armed forces and any military operations. These laws have been interpreted and applied very broadly to many forms of dissent.
Gender changes are banned, including gender transition surgery, hormone therapy and changing gender on official documents without medical requirements. The law also annuls marriages in which one person "changed gender" and prevents transgender couples from adopting children.
There are laws banning "LGBTQIA+ propaganda". These criminalise any act regarded as an attempt to promote what Russia calls "non-traditional sexual relations". Sharing information or public display of any material promoting "non-traditional relationships" is now a serious criminal offence. The 'international LGBTQIA+ movement' has been classified as an 'extremist organisation' under Russian law, criminalising the display of symbols such as the rainbow flag (including on social media).
In November 2022, Russia announced that the partial mobilisation of military reservists for the conflict in Ukraine was complete. However, a decree formalising the completion hasn't been issued. The Russian Government may subject males it regards as Russian to mobilisation, regardless of any other citizenship held. Laws introducing heavy penalties for 'crimes against military service' have been passed. The Australian Government will not be able to intervene if you're mobilised.
Russian authorities imposed restrictions on real estate and foreign currency transactions for foreign residents. These restrictions can be revised at short notice. Seek advice from local authorities.
Possessing, selling, consuming, or carrying any illegal drugs is illegal.
Penalties are severe and include long prison terms.
Russia has strict rules around medication carried into the country for personal use, including some medications that you can get over the counter in Australia.
If you don't declare restricted medications, authorities could detain you. See Health .
- Carrying or using drugs
Routine police checks are common in public places.
Carry your passport, visa, and migration card with you at all times. Authorities won't accept copies.
If you can't provide travel documentation on request, authorities can detain and fine you.
In Russia, it's illegal to:
- take photos of military places, strategic sites, and other sensitive areas, such as passport control and guarded railway sites
- use commercial film, television, or camera equipment in public areas without permission, but hand-held home video cameras are allowed
- use drones without permission from the Russian aviation authority.
Penalties for breaching the law include fines, jail, and deportation.
Russia regulates religious activity. Authorities restrict activities such as preaching and distributing religious materials.
If you plan to engage in religious activity, ensure you're not breaking local laws.
Contact the Embassy or Consulate of Russia for more information.
Cybersecurity laws
Russia has blocked or restricted some social media platforms and websites, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X (formerly known as Twitter).
Russia has banned certain Virtual Private Networks (VPN).
- Cyber security when travelling overseas
- Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor)
Official documents
Some Australian documents, such as birth or marriage certificates, need to be legalised before Russian authorities will accept them.
If you have an Australian document that you need to use while in Russia, contact the Embassy or Consulate of Russia for information.
Apostilles and some legal certificates can be issued by:
- DFAT in Australia
- Australian embassies and high commissions overseas
Surrogacy laws
Russia bans surrogacy for all foreigners except those married to Russian citizens. Recent court cases have resulted in long custodial sentences for some providers of surrogacy services. All children born through surrogacy in Russia are granted Russian citizenship, regardless of their parent's citizenship.
Get independent legal advice before making surrogacy arrangements in Russia or with residents of Russia.
- Going overseas for international surrogacy
- Going overseas to adopt a child
Australian laws
Some Australian criminal laws still apply when you're overseas. If you break these laws, you may face prosecution in Australia.
- Staying within the law and respecting customs
Dual nationality
If you're a dual national, this severely limits the consular services we can give if you're arrested or detained. Foreigners, including Australians, are at ongoing risk of arbitrary detention or arrest.
Russia doesn't recognise dual nationality.
In November 2022, Russia announced that the partial mobilisation of military reservists for the conflict in Ukraine was complete. However, a decree formalising the completion hasn't been issued. Russia may subject males it regards as Russian to mobilisation, regardless of any other citizenship held. Laws introducing heavy penalties for 'crimes against military service' have been passed. The Australian Government won't be able to intervene if you are subjected to mobilisation.
Conscription occurs regularly, and Russia may subject males it regards as Russian to mandatory conscription, regardless of any other citizenship held. Conscription in Russia occurs semi-annually, and conscripts typically serve one year. The maximum conscription age is 30 years old. The draft notice is to be serviced to the conscripts online and prevents conscripts from leaving the country once the notice is registered and sent.
Russian authorities won't recognise your Australian nationality if you're a dual national. They will treat you like any other national of Russia.
If you're a dual national:
- you must enter and leave Russia on a Russian passport
- you can enter Russia using a repatriation certificate (svidetelstvo na vozvrashcheniye) if you don't have a Russian passport, but you must still leave Russia on a Russian passport
- you must declare any other nationalities or foreign residency permits to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs
- you could be conscripted into the Russian military if you're a male between the ages of 18 and 30
Contact the Embassy or Consulate of Russia well before any planned travel to Russia.
Dual nationals can't leave Russia without a valid Russian passport.
You'll need to get a new Russian passport before you leave if:
- your Russian passport expires while you're in Russia
- you enter Russia using a repatriation certificate
Getting a new Russian passport for non-residents is complex and can take up to 3 months. The Australian Government is unable to intervene or fast-track this process.
Children born outside Russia and added to their parents' Russian passports need their own passport to leave Russia.
If you're travelling alone with a child, Russian border authorities may require the following:
- documentary evidence of your relationship to the child
- written permission for the child to travel from the non-travelling parent
- Dual nationals
Visas and border measures
Every country or territory decides who can enter or leave through its borders. For specific information about the evidence you'll need to enter a foreign destination, check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination you're entering.
Australia and other countries have placed sanctions on Russia. Russia's response to these sanctions may disrupt travel and affect travellers.
You need a visa to enter Russia unless you're travelling on certain commercial cruise ships.
You can't get a visa on arrival.
If you arrive in Russia without a valid visa, authorities will fine, detain and deport you at your own expense. They may bar you from re-entering.
Make sure you apply for the correct visa type, such as 'tourist' and 'visitor' visas.
If your visa type doesn't match the purpose of your visit, authorities may:
- not let you enter
You may need to provide biometric fingerprints for the visa application process.
After you get your Russian visa, check your passport details are correct, including the following:
- passport number
- date of birth
- intention of stay
- validity dates
If there are errors, return your passport to the Russian Embassy or Consulate for correction.
It's impossible to amend visa details once you're in Russia.
Border measures
If, despite our advice, you decide to enter Russia, expect thorough security checks at the border, including questioning and inspections of electronic devices.
Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice. Contact the nearest embassy or consulate for details about visas, currency, customs and quarantine rules.
Australians sanctioned by Russia
The Russian Foreign Ministry issued statements on its website advising that, in response to Australian sanctions, the Russian Government had added several Australians to a 'stop list', denying them entry into Russia on an indefinite basis.
These statements can be viewed here (copy and paste the URL into a new browser if you can't open the link):

DFAT can't provide advice on the implications of another country's sanctions. If you're listed, you should obtain legal advice if you have concerns about the potential impacts of the Russian sanctions. Do not travel to Russia if you're on Russia's 'stop list'.
Other formalities
Migration card.
Foreign visitors generally receive a migration card on arrival in Russia.
If you receive a paper migration card, keep the stamped exit portion of the card with your passport.
The migration card covers both Russia and Belarus. When leaving either country, you must show the stamped card to passport control.
If you lose your migration card:
- your departure could be delayed
- you could be stopped from staying at a hotel in Russia
You can get a replacement from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, but this process is complex and could delay your departure.
Biometric fingerprinting
Foreign citizens entering Russia for work or intending to stay over 90 calendar days may be subject to biometric fingerprinting and regular medical check-ups. The biometric fingerprinting procedure will need to be done only once. Medical check-ups must be re-taken upon the certificate's expiry (valid for 1 year).
Travel with children
If you're travelling with a child , you may need to show evidence of parental, custodial or permission rights. This is particularly the case for dual nationals. See Local laws
- Advice for people travelling with children
Electronics
The government strictly controls the import of electrical and some high-technology equipment.
The rules are complex.
You may import terminal global positioning systems (GPS) devices if you declare them on arrival. However, you'll need a special permit to import a GPS device connected to a computer or an antenna.
Authorities can detain you if you don't have a permit.
To import a satellite phone, you must show proof of advanced approval. Request approval from the Federal Service for the Supervision of Communications .
Russian border officials can demand to inspect any electronic device, including installed software when you enter or leave the country.
Travel between Russia and Belarus
Do not travel to Russia or Belarus due to the security environment and impacts of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. If you're in Russia or Belarus, leave immediately using the limited commercial options available or private means if it's safe to do so.
If, despite our advice, you decide to enter Belarus from Russia, note that the government doesn't allow foreigners to cross the land border between Russia and Belarus . You must do so by air.
If you're travelling between Russia and Belarus , you must have visas for both countries.
Visa-free entry into Belarus doesn't apply to travellers arriving from or travelling to Russia.
Contact the Embassy of Russia and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus for details.
Registering your stay in Russia
If you stay more than 7 working days, including your arrival and departure day, you must register with the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
You must pay a registration fee.
Most hotels do this for their guests, but you're legally responsible. Confirm with check-in staff on arrival that they've registered you.
The registration process can be complex if you're not staying at a hotel.
Register at the nearest post office if you're travelling on a visitor visa.
Register through your employer if you're travelling on a visa that lets you work. Confirm with your employer that they've registered you.
If you don't register, authorities can fine you or delay your departure.
- The Russian Embassy
Visa overstays
Make sure you leave Russia before your visa expires. Some visas, including tourist visas, can't be extended.
If you overstay your visa, you won't be allowed to leave Russia until the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs determines your legal status or deports you.
Authorities can detain you until they've processed your case.
Penalties for overstaying include fines and deportation.
You may be banned from re-entering.
Customs Rules
Russian Customs provides a list of goods that must be declared when entering or leaving Russia, regardless of whether they come in carry-on or unaccompanied/checked-in luggage.
Anyone entering Russia must declare cash amounts exceeding the equivalent of 10,000 USD as well as certain types of goods, including jewellery and antiques.
Items imported by air for personal use that are worth more than 10,000 EUR or weigh more than 50 kg must be declared. They will incur customs duties and taxes of 30% of the cost (no less than 4 EUR per 1 kg).
For cash amounts exceeding the equivalent of 100,000 USD, documents confirming the origin of the money in addition to customs declaration must be provided.
If you fail to declare items exceeding the value or weight standards, these may be confiscated, and you may be detained and charged with an administrative or criminal offence.
If you fail to declare amounts of cash exceeding the threshold, your money may be confiscated, and you may be detained and charged with an administrative or criminal offence.
Make sure a customs official stamps your declaration. Only stamped declarations are valid.
Russia has imposed restrictions on exporting certain categories of goods, including foreign-made medical products. Seek advice from local authorities.
Russia has strict regulations on the export of antiques, artworks and items of historical significance. These are items purchased in Russia or imported to Russia from overseas. They also include modern art and posters if they are particularly rare or valuable.
Authorities may not allow the export of items more than 100 years old.
If you want to export any antiques, artworks or items of historical significance:
- keep receipts of your purchases
- obtain an export permit from the Ministry of Culture in advance of travel — export permits aren't issued at the airport
- declare each item to border authorities when you leave Russia
- be ready to show each item to border authorities
- be ready to show receipts for each item to border authorities
Don't try to export items requiring permits without the relevant paperwork. This is a serious offence.
Russian Customs legislation about the import and export of money and goods may change without warning. Seek advice from local authorities.
Some countries won't let you enter unless your passport is valid for six months after you plan to leave that country. This can apply even if you're just transiting or stopping over.
Some foreign governments and airlines apply the rule inconsistently. Travellers can receive conflicting advice from different sources.
You can end up stranded if your passport is not valid for more than six months.
The Australian Government does not set these rules. Check your passport's expiry date before you travel. If you're not sure it'll be valid for long enough, consider getting a new passport .
Lost or stolen passport
Your passport is a valuable document. It's attractive to people who may try to use your identity to commit crimes.
Some people may try to trick you into giving them your passport. Always keep it in a safe place.
If your passport is lost or stolen, tell the Australian Government as soon as possible:
- In Australia, contact the Australian Passport Information Service .
- If you're overseas, contact the nearest Australian embassy or consulate .
If your passport is lost or stolen while ashore, you will need to obtain an emergency passport and an exit visa to leave Russia within the 72-hour visa-free period. If it's not done within 72 hours, you will face a court hearing and possible fine, deportation and entry ban.
To arrange a new visa:
- obtain an official police report
- apply for a replacement passport through the Australian Embassy in Moscow
- apply to Russian authorities for an exit visa
- include the police report with your application
If you replace your passport while in Russia, make sure authorities transfer your visa to the new passport.
Passport with 'X' gender identifier
Although Australian passports comply with international standards for sex and gender, we can't guarantee that a passport showing an 'X' in the sex field will be accepted for entry or transit by another country. Contact the nearest embassy, high commission or consulate of your destination before you arrive at the border to confirm if authorities will accept passports with 'X' gender markers.

The currency of Russia is the Rouble (RUB).
Russian authorities have imposed temporary restrictions on the export of foreign currency in cash out of Russia. Travellers exiting Russia can't take more than the equivalent of 10,000 USD in cash. Make sure a customs official stamps your declaration. Only stamped declarations are valid.
You must carry proof that your funds were imported and declared, or legally obtained in Russia. Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Mastercard, Visa, and American Express have suspended operations in Russia. Cards issued outside Russia will not work at Russian merchants or ATMs. Cards issued inside Russia may continue to work, but they won't work outside Russia. It may not be possible for you to access your funds through Russian banks or to make payments to Russian businesses with non-Russian credit/debit cards. Be prepared with alternate means of payment should your cards be declined.
You may not be able to exchange Australian dollars as well as old, worn, or damaged US dollar and euro banknotes into Russian rubles in Russia. Ensure you have enough money to cover your stay in Russia.
Traveller's cheques aren't widely accepted, even in Moscow and St Petersburg.
Local travel

Australia and other countries have placed sanctions on Russia. Russia's response to these sanctions may disrupt travel and affect travellers. Confirm entry requirements for your destination before arrival, as additional restrictions or entry requirements could be imposed or changed suddenly.
If, despite our advice, you decide to travel to Russia, note that some areas across the country are considered 'closed' for foreigners. Foreigners need government permission to enter these 'closed' areas. If you need government permission or are unsure if you need it, contact the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

With the option of adding Savings Rider with premium of up to 12 times your Basic Premium, the higher the multiplier you choose, the more GCP you can look forward to receiving, as shown in the table below.
1 Annual GCP paid at the end of the respective policy year from Year 16 to Year 20, for a plan with premium payment term of 8 years and coverage tenure of 20 years. Also subject to premium being fully paid on time and policy still in force.
2 Subject to premiums being fully paid on time and policy still in force.
3 This is an investment-linked insurance plan that is tied to the performance of the underlying assets, and it is not a pure investment product such as unit trust or fixed deposits.
4 The premiums that you pay contribute to both the savings and protection elements of the product, e.g. death benefits. If you are looking for financial products with a savings element, you may wish to compare annualised returns of this product with the effective returns of other investment alternatives.
