The U.S. Embassy in Moscow will sharply limit its consular activities due to a Russian ban on hiring local staff

04/30/2021 07:52 AM EDTMOSCOW — The U.S. Embassy said Friday it will sharply limit its consular activities due to a Russian ban on hiring local staff.

It noted that non-immigrant visa processing for non-diplomatic travel will cease and it will stop offering routine notarial services, consular reports of birth abroad or passport renewal services for the foreseeable future. The U.S. ordered 10 Russian diplomats out, targeted dozens of companies and people and imposed new curbs on Russia’s ability to borrow money. Russia quickly retaliated by ordering 10 U.S. diplomats to leave, blacklisting eight current and former U.S. officials and tightening requirements for U.S. Embassy operations.
