Renting and Selling Property to Russians Abroad: How to Accept Large Payments Legally

Real estate agencies in Georgia, Serbia, UAE and Montenegro face the same situation: the client is ready to buy, the money is there — but transferring rubles abroad is impossible through standard channels. Here's how to solve it in 2026.

Why Standard Transfers Don't Work

Since 2022, Russian citizens and companies face strict restrictions on international transfers. SWIFT from Russia is either blocked or takes weeks requiring extensive documentation.

Typical scenario: A client from Moscow wants to buy an apartment in Tbilisi for $80,000. They have the money in a Russian account. But wiring it directly through a bank is impossible. The agency loses the deal or enters grey territory.

Risks of Grey Schemes

Criminal liability for participating in illegal financial transactions
Deal invalidation — courts can void transactions without proof of fund origin
Loss of funds when using anonymous exchangers
Reputational damage — one incident and the agency loses partners and licences

Working Solution: SBP + USDT

Via the Multiflow payment page with the agreed ruble amount.

Handling Large Amounts Safely

For transactions from 500,000 RUB and above, Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) applies: source of funds verification, international sanctions screening, and additional payer documentation where needed.

Large amounts can be split across multiple payments — deposit, first instalment, final payment — each with its own documentation.
