Lord of nothing:
Hi
Long storry Short I watched my favourite Youtuber who took some Trains in Russia.
Well since I way a young, slim Teen I wanted to took a Train in Russia.
There is just one small problem when I ever travel to Russia I want have a Valid Ticket in my Pocket before I board the Plane. In many Country its nowerdays possible to book Online Tickets. Now the have an Online Ticket Portal to.
There FAQ say:
--- Quote ---Only with the bank cards PC “Mir”, Visa, Visa Electron, MasterCard or Maestro. There are no other methods of payment.

So does it mean only with a Creditcard from "Mir" or any Craditcard from any Company?
So could I book there a Ticket with my "European" Visa, Master?
Thanks

You can pay with any Visa or Mastercard, no problem. Mir is a card of its own type and is not what most of people in Russia use anyway. It's by far less popular than Visa and Mastercard. Do you watch Bald?

If you can get a prepaid credit card (MasterCard/VISA Debit) in your country i would do it that way if i were you and use it to buy train tickets and pay for purchases while travelling.

There's no "European" Visa, Master...
Your credit card issuer (mostly bank) is European and place any restrictions.
Just make sure that you can use it outside EU, if any extra step requires for a target country and what would be charges.
Ideally, you want to take two different brand cards just in case, or perhaps one of pre-paid to limit your exposure and not linked to the bank account :)

Yes whatever card you decide to use it is a good idea to call your bank and speak to them about your travel plan. This will help avoid sudden blocks by their AI fraud algoritms if all of a sudden a transaction pops up a few hundred miles away from your home.
