Foreign citizens will be able to come to the Russian Far East in a simplified manner

Currently, foreigners arriving in Russia through border checkpoints on the territory of the free port of the city of Vladivostok and the Special Economic Zone in the Kaliningrad Region, as well as air border checkpoints of the Far Eastern Federal District of Russia can obtain visas in the form of an electronic document.

The simplified entry procedure will not affect railways and seaports, since railway transport does not have equipment for checking electronic visas, and foreigners do not require entry through seaports.

According to the law “On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation”, foreigners who arrived by means of electronic visa have the right to freely move through the territory of only those regions of Russia where they have entered.
