Vacation at sea where you do not need a visa. Visa-free for the Russians of the country. These include

There are about a hundred states that do not require citizens of the Russian Federation to provide permit stamps in their passports when crossing their borders in different parts of the world. Russian diplomats are constantly negotiating to expand the list of powers that can be freely entered without a visa.

Advice! The length of stay in such countries always has limitations. If there is a need to stay there beyond the established period, you need to take care of this before leaving. It is worthwhile to inquire in advance about the possibility of extending the time of stay directly in this country, and it is better to get a visa with the required period while still in Russia.

To obtain a visa, you need to spend time and nerves filling out forms, collecting documents and visiting the embassies. You can avoid these troublesome procedures by choosing one of the following options for traveling abroad:

• Travel to a completely visa-free country, with the possibility of entering with an internal passport;
• Visit a completely visa-free state, at the border of which you will be asked to present your passport;
• Travel to a country with a simplified visa regime;
• Living in the border areas with the countries participating in the agreement on Local Border Movement (LBT), visit the neighboring region on a preferential basis.

Visa-free countries fall into two categories. Those that are included in the first - give the Russians the right to arrive at them on an internal identity document.

To visit representatives of another group of countries, you will need a foreign passport. The easiest access to the country is to visit it without a visa and a passport. The following states opened their borders for persons who only have a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation (internal passport) in 2017:

Belarus... With this country, Russia has a visa-free regime of entry and when crossing its border, citizens of the Russian Federation will be asked to present only an internal passport. Also, Russians do not need to purchase a medical policy at the border, which is mandatory for all other foreigners.

Kazakhstan... There is a visa-free regime for Russians, and in 2017 there is still the possibility of entering the country with an internal passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. Stays are allowed for 90 days. If there is a need to stay longer, you can contact the relevant authorities for registration of temporary residence in Kazakhstan.

Kyrgyzstan... Russian citizens can visit the former Soviet republic if they have any passport.

Important! When entering Kyrgyzstan, it is worth making sure that the border guards put a stamp on the border crossing on the document. If this is not done, then problems may arise when leaving.

Abkhazia and North Ossetia. Two more territories, visiting which our compatriots will do without a visa. Russians can enter there with both a foreign and an internal passport.

Important! Citizens of the Russian Federation must cross the border with Abkhazia exclusively through the Psou checkpoint; Russians are prohibited from entering Abkhazia from the territory of Georgia (through the Inguri checkpoint).

Countries accessible to Russians with a foreign passport

With a Russian passport in 2017, you can visit about 80 countries of the world. It should be borne in mind that each customs office may have its own requirements for passing the control: presentation of a return ticket, demonstration of proof of solvency, etc. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the expiration of the validity of a general civil passport is not earlier than after 6 months.

Taking into account the length of stay allowed for our fellow citizens, without the need to obtain a visa, these countries can be divided into several categories. Available for visa-free visits to states where:

• Possible stay up to 15 days;
• The stay is limited to 30 days;
• Regulated visits from 45 to 60 days;
• The visit has been extended to 90 days.

Visa-free countries with stay no longer than 15 days

Most often, for a tourist trip, as well as visiting friends abroad, a person needs to stay in the country for up to 15 days. For 2017, such an opportunity is provided by the following state entities:

Vietnam. Going to Vietnam you do not need to worry about a visa, but certain conditions are met. Firstly, without special permission, you can go there only on a business trip, as well as take a tourist tour or visit friends.

Laos. Having decided to go to Laos for no more than 15 days, you should not worry about obtaining a visa. You must bring your passport, valid for another 6 months, confirmation of the return flight and the booked hotel room.

Nauru. Another state that does not require a visa from citizens of the Russian Federation who arrived in it for 14 days for tourist, transit, and also private purposes. It is worth remembering that when crossing the border, you will need to present to the passport control staff a ticket for the return flight and a passport, which will be valid for another 3 months after the end of the visit.

Visa-free countries with a stay of up to 30 days

In these countries, you can spend a whole month in 2017 without worrying about getting a visa.

Visa-free countries with stays up to 45 or 60 days

Some states provide Russians with the opportunity to spend more than one month on their territory:

Guam. When making a tourist visit with a 45-day period, a Russian will not need a visa to this area. You must take your passport with you, on the main page of which there is a machine-readable code and a ticket home. Also, two completed special forms of documents are presented, the forms of which are given on the plane.

Mauritius. To enter Mauritius for the purpose of making a tourist trip for 60 days, citizens of the Russian Federation do not need a visa. True, it will be possible to be in this area no more than 90 days every six months.

You need to have the following documents with you: a civil passport valid until the end of your stay, a return ticket, an official invitation and a sum of money at the rate of USD 100 per day.

Northern Mariana Islands. Coming to the islands for a tourist, business or private purpose, less than 45 days, you do not have to worry about obtaining a visa.

At the border, the tourist will be asked to show: a civil passport valid until the end of the visit and tickets in both directions, necessarily with a fixed departure date. As well as completed customs declaration and visa-free entry forms, the forms of which are issued to passengers on the plane.

Saint Lucia.Russians wishing to visit this island state for six weeks do not need a visa. Passport control officials will require the presentation of some documents, namely: a passport valid at the time of arrival, confirmation of the return flight and the availability of finance.

Turkey. At the moment, the visa-free regime for 2017 has been canceled.

Visa-free countries with a stay of 90 days

A large number of states allow Russians to stay on their land for 90 days. In addition to the passport valid at the time of entry and confirmation of the return flight, passport control services may also request additional documents:

There are countries where you can come without a visa for a longer period, for example Fiji, opens its border for Russians for 120 days, and Armenia - up to 180.

An unusual reception, depending on the specific place of entry, is provided to the citizens of the Russian Federation by China. Due to the fact that each province has its own laws, when visiting most of the Chinese territory, Russians will be required to have a visa. However, there are exceptions, so when visiting Hong Kong for up to 14 days, a visa is not required, as well as when staying up to 30 days in Macau and up to 21 days in Hainan.

Albania offers interesting conditions of stay for citizens of the Russian Federation. Usually, when visiting her, you need to apply for a visa. An exception is made only to tourists who own Schengen. But in the summer, the country opens visa-free access for tourists. So for 2017, a visa-free period is set from June 1 to November 1. At the same time, the purpose of the visit should be exclusively tourist, and Albania will allow no more than 90 days to stay on its territory.

To the attention of citizens of the Russian Federation who are going to visit Georgia in 2017, after a visit to Abkhazia! In order to avoid problems, it is better to enter and leave this republic, as well as into South Ossetia, with the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, since it will not be stamped on crossing the Russian border. And already upon entering Georgia, present your passport.

The Georgian authorities, recognizing as legal entry to these disputed territories exclusively from Georgia, accordingly, detain Russian citizens, whose passports contain stamps about visits from the Russian side. These republics do not put any stamps, but Russian checkpoints make marks in their passports when leaving their sites. Subsequently, the marks of the Russian checkpoints are evidence of visits to these two republics by Russia, not Georgia. This circumstance threatens a tourist with detention, and in the worst case, with a large fine and even arrest.

For the attention of Russian citizens traveling to Ukraine in 2017. The border services of this state will give permission to cross it subject to the following conditions:

• Citizens must have a valid passport;
• Citizens should not be on the lists of persons who are prohibited from entering the country;
• Proof of sufficient funds is required;
• The purpose of the planned stay must be confirmed.

Citizens of the Russian Federation can stay on the territory of Ukraine for no more than 90 days in any 180-day period.

For citizens traveling to Ukraine from the territory of the Republic of Crimea, the Ukrainian authorities have established a requirement - to enter and leave Crimea only through Ukraine and only with a special permit issued by the Ukrainian side.

Countries with a simplified visa regime

Another option that can be considered conditionally visa-free is to visit a country where a simplified visa regime has been established for Russians. Such a country is almost no different from a visa-free one. Going on the road, you do not need to worry about obtaining a visa - it will be delivered upon arrival at the airport. The transfer procedure is quite simple, there will be no problems at the border, the only difference is that you will have to spend a little money and time on registration and guaranteed receipt of an entry visa.

In 2017, the list of countries that are ready to receive Russian citizens without a preliminary obtained visa includes about 30 states. In some of them, the visa will be delivered free of charge, while in others you will have to pay. But, all the same, this is a fairly convenient and simple option for movement. Most often, to obtain such a visa, it is necessary to present at the customs only a ticket home, a hotel reservation, as well as a confirmation of solvency.

When visiting Turkmenistan, citizens of the Russian Federation need to apply for a visa in advance in Russia, however, subject to certain conditions, you can purchase it upon arrival in the country.

The only place where you can get such a visa is Ashgabat International Airport. To do this, you must provide a valid passport and an invitation from the receiving party, certified by the State Migration Service of Turkmenistan.

The visa will be valid for 10 days, but if necessary, it can be extended at the Migration Service.

A single entry visa for 1 month can also be obtained in Egypt. If the Russians are going to stay only in South Sinai, they can ask for a special Sinai stamp, which is issued free of charge. However, with such a stamp valid for 15 days, visits to the mainland of Egypt are prohibited.

In case of travel to Egypt from the Israeli side, only the Sinai stamp is issued to the tourist and without an Egyptian visa, his movement will be limited exclusively to the territory of South Sinai.

Member States of the Local Border Movement Agreement (LBT)

There are intergovernmental agreements under which Russians living in border regions can visit neighboring European countries in a visa-free regime. So residents of the Pechenga region have the opportunity to come to Norway once a year for a period of 15 days.

There are two voivodeships in Poland, where Russian citizens living in the Kaliningrad region make monthly visits without hindrance. Europe also opens up to residents of Russian cities adjacent to the border with Latvia. They have the right to obtain a special Local Border Traffic Permit for 90 days in a six-month period.

Traveling with children

Do not forget about the rules regarding travel with children, which are valid in almost all countries. If a child crosses the border with one of the parents, then it will be necessary to present a statement of consent with this fact from the second parent. The application must be official and notarized. If the child does not have a second parent, a document confirming his absence is presented.

In the case of a child traveling alone or traveling with third parties, a notarized power of attorney is requested from both parents at the border, allowing the child to travel alone or accompanied.

Photo overview of visa-free countries

Having decided where to go in 2017, you must definitely clarify all the information about the visa regime of the selected country. After all, not knowing all the formalities and requirements set at the border, there is a risk of getting into a completely unforeseen situation and spending additional funds to resolve it. And with an unfortunate combination of circumstances, you will have to fly in the opposite direction.
