These links are old. Quite a number of cards from those lists don't work anymore. For example CryptoPay will start working in Russia. Europe, then the rest will be later steps.

Background: in January 2018 VISA (and later MasterCard too) told WaveCrest corporation to shut down their cards (the reasons are not important). Most of the "Bitcoin debit card" services were relying on cards issued by WaveCrest and they've got a hard blow. Most of them are still not back on business.

Most of the cards still in business after this happened usually have unreasonably high fees or they're mostly for US.
A notable comeback is Wirex, they are back after WaveCrest episode, they do have even Virtual Cards too, but I think that they work now only in Europe. Some do have complains against them, but overall they are not so bad, I am using their card, but some precautions would not hurt.
