Russia OKs e-visa for citizens of PH, 51 other countries starting 2021

In a Facebook post on Thursday, the Russian Embassy in the Philippines said Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin earlier signed a directive approving a list of 52 countries, including the Philippines, whose citizens can apply for e-visas.Russia launched a pilot e-visa project in 2017 that included a number of restrictions, according to the embassy.

“For example, foreigners with an e-visa could only enter Russia through checkpoints in the Far Eastern Federal District, St Petersburg and the Leningrad and Kaliningrad regions. And they were not allowed to travel outside these regions,” the embassy said.This means foreign nationals can enter Russia “via the specially equipped checkpoints anywhere in the country and travel throughout” the country.

“In addition to this, the duration of a stay for foreigners has been extended from eight to 16 days,” the embassy added. It also noted that e-visas will be issued online for tourism, business, humanitarian, and guest trips. Applications, the embassy said, do not need an invitation, hotel booking, or any other documents to confirm reasons for travel. / KGAThe comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
