State Duma approves single electronic visa for entry into the country

The State Duma approved in the last reading a bill that provides for the introduction of next year's universal single entry visa in electronic format to enter Russia.

So, starting from the first of January, the citizens of 113 countries would receive a visa for 60 days with the ability to stay in our country for up to 16 days. It will be possible to apply online.

Thanks to such favorable conditions Russia will be far ahead of the countries at the top of the World Tourism Organization, a United Nations member-state, including the United States, Spain, Italy and France. For example, the United States allows entry without visas only to residents of 39 countries, and the Schengen zone can be crossed by citizens of about 60 countries.

Earlier the head of Crimea Sergey Aksenov said that the peninsula has already been visited by 1 million tourists. He called this figure unprecedented.

This year, the summer season here started on July 1 for the residents of other regions of the country due to the pandemic coronavirus. The Crimeans started vacationing at the seaside resorts of the peninsula on June 15.
