Visa-free countries for Russians where you can buy last-minute tours. Visa-free countries for Russians Which countries can you travel to with a foreign passport?

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 into which one can freely enter without a visa.

Advice! The length of stay in such countries always has restrictions. If there is a need to stay there beyond the established period, you need to take care of this before departure. It is worth making inquiries in advance about the possibility of extending the time of stay directly in this country, and it is better to obtain 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 going to 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 entry using 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 border areas with countries participating in the Agreement on Local Border Travel (LBT), visit the neighboring region on a preferential basis.

Visa-free countries are divided into two categories. Those included in the first one give Russians the right to enter them using an internal identity document.

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

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

Kazakhstan. It has a visa-free regime for Russians and in 2017 it is still possible to enter the country with an internal passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. Stay is allowed for 90 days. If there is a need to stay longer, you can contact the relevant authorities to register 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 document indicating that you have crossed the border. If this is not done, problems may arise when leaving.

Abkhazia and North Ossetia. There are two more territories that our compatriots can visit 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 Enguri checkpoint).

Countries accessible to Russians with a foreign passport

With a Russian passport in 2017, you can visit approximately 80 countries of the world. It should be taken into account that each customs office may have its own requirements for passing control: presentation of a return ticket, demonstration of evidence of solvency, etc. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the validity of the general passport expires no earlier than after 6 months.

Taking into account the period of stay allowed to our fellow citizens, without the need to obtain a visa, these countries can be divided into several categories. States available for visa-free visits are:

• Possible stay up to 15 days;
• Stay is limited to 30 days;
• Visits are regulated from 45 to 60 days;
• The visit has been extended to 90 days.

Visa-free countries with a stay of no longer than 15 days

Most often, to make a tourist trip, as well as visit friends abroad, a person only needs to stay in the country for up to 15 days. For 2017, this opportunity is provided by the following government entities:

Vietnam. When going to Vietnam, you do not need to worry about a visa, but subject to certain conditions. Firstly, without special permission you can only go there on a business trip, as well as take a tourist tour or visit friends. Secondly, you need to plan a visit for no more than 15 days, without leaving the territory. Thirdly, at least 30 days must pass after the previous visit to the country.

Hong Kong. A place where you can come without a visa for a period of 14 days and exclusively for tourism purposes, or to visit friends or relatives. The following documents are presented: a foreign passport valid for one month after the end of the trip, confirmation of the return flight, evidence of the availability of the necessary funds.

Laos. If you decide to go to Laos for no more than 15 days, you do not need to worry about purchasing a visa. You must take with you a passport valid for another 6 months, confirmation of your return flight and a booked hotel room.

Nauru. Another state that does not require a visa from Russian citizens arriving there for 14 days for tourism, transit, and private purposes. It is worth remembering that when crossing the border, you will need to show passport control officers a ticket for the return flight and a foreign 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 2017, you can spend a whole month in these countries without worrying about obtaining a visa.

Visa-free countries with a stay of 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 citizen will not need a visa to this area. You need to take your passport with you, on the main page of which there is a machine-readable code and a ticket home. You must also present two completed special document forms, the forms of which are given on the plane.

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

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

Northern Mariana Islands. When coming to the islands for tourist, business or private purposes, for 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 general passport valid until the end of the visit and round-trip tickets, necessarily with a fixed departure date. As well as completed customs declaration forms and visa-free entry documents, 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 certain documents, namely: a valid passport at the time of arrival, confirmation of a return flight and availability of funds.

Türkiye. At the moment, the visa-free regime for 2017 has been cancelled.

Visa-free countries with a stay of 90 days

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

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

China provides citizens of the Russian Federation with an unusual reception, depending on the specific place of entry. 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 it, you need to apply for a visa. An exception is made only for tourists who have a Schengen visa. But in the summer, the country opens visa-free access for tourists. So for 2017, a visa-free period has been established from June 1 to November 1. At the same time, the purpose of the visit should be exclusively touristic, and Albania will allow you to stay on its territory for no more than 90 days.

Attention to citizens of the Russian Federation planning to visit Georgia in 2017, after a visit to Abkhazia! To avoid problems, it is better to enter and exit this republic, as well as South Ossetia, using a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, since it will not contain stamps about crossing the Russian border. And when entering Georgia, present your passport.

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

Attention to citizens of the Russian Federation 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 list of persons prohibited from entering the country;
• Proof of sufficient funds is required;
• The purpose of your planned stay must be confirmed.

Citizens of the Russian Federation may 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 exit Crimea only through Ukraine and exclusively with a special permit issued by the Ukrainian side.

Countries with 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 country. When you travel, you don’t need to worry about obtaining a visa—it will be issued upon arrival at the airport. The moving procedure is quite simple, no problems will arise 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 ready to accept Russian citizens without a pre-obtained visa includes about 30 states. In some of them, the visa will be issued for free, while in others you will have to pay. But, it is still a fairly convenient and simple transportation option. Most often, to obtain such a visa, you only need to present at customs a ticket home, a hotel reservation, and proof of solvency.

When visiting Turkmenistan, citizens of the Russian Federation need to apply for a visa in advance in Russia, however, if certain conditions are met, they 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 international passport and an invitation from the host 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 Russians intend 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, the tourist will only be issued a Sinai stamp and without an Egyptian visa, his movement will be limited exclusively to the territory of South Sinai.

Countries party to the agreement on Local Border Movement (LBT)

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

There are two voivodeships in Poland where Russian citizens living in the Kaliningrad region can freely make monthly visits. Europe is also opening up to residents of Russian cities adjacent to the border with Latvia. They have the right to obtain a special Permit for local border movement within 90 days every six months.

Traveling with children

Do not forget about the rules regarding traveling with children, which apply 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 agreement with this fact from the other parent. The application must be official and notarized. If the child does not have a second parent, a document confirming his absence is submitted.

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

Photo review of visa-free countries

Having decided where to go in 2017, you need to clarify all the information about the visa regime of the selected country. After all, without knowing all the formalities and requirements imposed at the border, there is a risk of getting into a completely unforeseen situation and spending additional money to resolve it. And if the circumstances are unfortunate, you will have to fly in the opposite direction.

Traveling to Europe was already an expensive pleasure, and given the new economic conditions, vacations in the main European capitals have become an almost unaffordable luxury.

Fortunately, in addition to expensive London, Paris and Rome, there are cheaper European cities, so there is still an opportunity to see Europe without going broke, you just need to carefully plan your trip and choose a direction. To make things easier for you, we've put together a list of 10 interesting and inexpensive cities in Europe where a weekend won't leave a hole in your budget.

1. Krakow

It is surprising that Krakow, one of the most beautiful and at the same time the cheapest cities in Europe, has not yet been appreciated by tourists. Krakow was the capital of Poland until the end of the 16th century, but even after losing this status it always remained the main cultural and scientific center of the country. Fortunately, unlike Warsaw, the city was practically not damaged during World War II, so many ancient buildings have been preserved here (there are thirty-nine churches alone), the medieval Jagiellonian University and a huge royal castle from the 13th century.

2. Budapest

Despite the fact that the popularity of the Hungarian capital has grown greatly in recent years, prices here still remain relatively low. If you choose a hotel not in the very center and use public transport, you can enjoy views of the Danube and classical architecture while staying within a modest budget. Be sure to visit one of Budapest's famous thermal baths, cross the river on the Chain Bridge and stroll through the Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion.

3. Lisbon

Even by European standards, there are a lot of attractions in Lisbon and its surroundings - castles, palaces and basilicas, and the decent cost of air travel to the Portuguese capital is more than offset by cheap hotels, restaurants and shops. If you plan to travel around the city a lot by public transport or use the funiculars (including the famous city elevator of Santa Justa), be sure to buy a Viva Viagem travel system, this will allow you to save even more.

4. Prague

Prague has won the love of tourists from all over the world thanks to two factors: cheap Czech pubs and a beautiful historical center. In terms of attractiveness and richness of cultural monuments, Prague is hardly inferior to the main Western European capitals, and a trip here will cost you much less than to Paris or Amsterdam. The only negative is that there are a lot of tourists in Prague during the high season, so choose the less popular months, since this city is beautiful at any time of the year.

5. Istanbul

One of the oldest cities in the world, Istanbul is considered a must-visit destination for every history buff. Mosques, bazaars and amazing views of the Bosphorus Strait will not leave even the most experienced travelers indifferent. Today, Istanbul captivates not only with its rich cultural heritage, but also with its low prices, which, alas, fall in inverse proportion to the level of safety in the city.

6. Athens

Athens is an ideal city for a weekend - there are enough attractions here for just two days of leisurely exploration. You should set aside one full day to explore the Parthenon and the Acropolis, you will need at least half a day to visit the luxurious archaeological museum of Athens, and if you still have time, check out the Monastiraki area - see the mosque and wander around the market. Despite the fact that Athens is one of the most expensive cities on our list, by European standards it is still a very cheap place, especially if you go there out of season, but in late autumn or even winter.

7. Split

Split is a less touristy copy of Dubrovnik: the same red roofs, white walls and views of the bay. The city is much cheaper and is located in Dalmatia, which is famous for its excellent beaches, so you can combine a visit to Split with a beach holiday nearby. Split, of course, does not have a grand city wall like Dubrovnik, but it does have the ancient Roman palace of Emperor Diocletian, which is considered the best-preserved Roman-era palace in the world.

8. Berlin

Despite the fact that Berlin is the capital of one of the richest countries in the eurozone, prices here remain relatively low. Of course, compared to the cities of Eastern Europe, the cost of a night in hotels and hostels in Berlin is not so attractive, but due to the popularity of the destination and the large number of flights, tickets to Berlin can be bought quite inexpensively (especially if you take care of the purchase a few months before the trip).

9. Riga

If you have not yet been to Riga, try to correct this annoying mistake as soon as possible - after the transition to the euro, prices in this city are constantly rising. The historical center of Riga fully corresponds to the concept of a classic European city - open cafes, pretty squares, surrounded by ancient buildings with tiled roofs, paved sidewalks. Well, the advantages of a holiday in Riga for Russians are obvious: geographical proximity and the absence of a language barrier.

10. Ljubljana

Gradually, from a place that no one can find on the map, Ljubljana is turning into one of the most popular cities in Europe. It has everything you need for a classic European weekend: a beautiful historical center, good restaurants, architectural monuments, including a large, well-preserved medieval castle. We strongly recommend going to the capital of Slovenia before it begins to attract crowds of tourists and hotel prices do not jump to the average European level.

Traveling without unnecessary paperwork is much more fun to prepare for. I am glad that a very large number of countries are opening their borders to tourists in 2019, without forcing them to apply for a visa. Let's go over the countries that will not require a visa or will be given one directly at customs.

Where to have an inexpensive holiday at sea abroad is the most popular question among tourists, and not only in crisis years. Many countries in Europe, Asia and America can offer you cheap holidays at sea: prices for food, hotels and entertainment there remain acceptable even at the current exchange rate of the ruble and dollar. But flying to many places will cost a huge amount. Therefore, today we offer you 5 countries, where you can relax at sea abroad inexpensively even taking into account the price of air tickets.

The Internet is now replete with articles from the category “Where to relax at sea abroad inexpensively.” But many authors, describing the cheapness of holidays in these places, miss the most important point. When choosing the cheapest countries for tourists, the compilers of the ratings cite the example of ridiculous prices for food and hotels, but forget about the cost of flights. And as a result, the lists of countries where it is cheaper to relax at sea abroad are topped by either Argentina or Guatemala. No doubt, these are indeed very inexpensive countries for a seaside holiday, but not for Russians. Because before you can spend $10 a night in Guatemala, you first need to get there.

Therefore, in our article about countries where you can have an inexpensive holiday at sea abroad even with the current exchange rate of the ruble, we will take into account three main points:

• flight cost,
• food expenses,
• price of hotel accommodation.

This is a mandatory expense for all tourists. Everything else (excursions, entertainment, transportation costs, souvenirs, etc.) is very individual, so we will not take these costs into account. Considering how wide our native country is, we will list prices for air tickets from three cities at once - the capital, the Northern capital and the capital of Siberia. So, where to have an inexpensive holiday at sea abroad: the cheapest countries for tourism in Europe and Asia.

Türkiye: all in and nothing off

One of the goals of our site is to dispel misconceptions. One of the misconceptions of Russian tourists is that Turkey was “closed” and now it has allegedly been “opened”. Dear friends! Nothing of the kind: Turkey has always been open, visa-free and one of the cheapest countries where you can relax at sea abroad inexpensively. It was only prohibited to sell package tours there. Read more in our articles:

No one forbade and is not forbidding you to buy air tickets and fly on your own to vacation in this country of beautiful beaches, majestic mountains and a generous all-inclusive package. Moreover, from many Russian cities you can fly to Turkish resorts either directly or with a transfer in Moscow or Istanbul. And you can book a hotel with all-inclusive meals through the booking system.

• Air ticket Moscow - Antalya: from 80 dollars
• Air ticket St. Petersburg - Antalya: from 150 dollars
• Air ticket Novosibirsk - Antalya: from 200 dollars

Prices for all-inclusive hotels in Turkey: from $45

We won’t calculate food prices in Turkey - why, if you can stay in a decent hotel and eat and drink on an all-inclusive basis? Moreover, it is very inexpensive! When you look at hotels, don't forget to check the "All inclusive" box:

Tips for booking all-inclusive hotels in Turkey: on the most popular booking system Booking.com All-inclusive hotels are sometimes too expensive. The same hotels with the same “opinclusive” can be found on other booking systems for many times cheaper. Therefore, we recommend looking for hotels not through Booking, but through hotel search engine Hotellook— it compares prices for the same hotels in different booking systems and gives you the best price options. In addition, Hotellook, unlike Booking, gives you the opportunity to sort hotels operating on the All Inclusive system. When you select a hotel, Hotellook will transfer you to the booking system website (Booking.com, Agoda.com, Ostrovok.ru, etc.), where the booking takes place.

And at the same time very accessible and familiar: none of the countries in Southeast Asia is visited by tourists as much as Thailand; There are not so many flights from Russia to any of the Southeast Asian countries as to Thailand, and there is not so much varied information on the Internet about any of the neighboring countries. Including on our website. Here, as an example, are a few of our articles that will help you spend your holiday in Thailand brightly and at the same time inexpensively:

Vietnam: how much does beer cost under communism?

Together with Thailand Vietnam is one of the countries where cheap seaside holidays are possible at any time of the year. For many, Vietnam is even more comfortable as a holiday destination than Thailand. One of the reasons is that local cuisine is much more familiar to the European stomach - years of communication with the French and Russians have had an effect. Moreover, the communication is so close that the main resorts of Vietnam today are completely Russified: you can’t walk a hundred meters in Nha Trang or Mui Ne without encountering the obligatory “Matryoshka” cafe or at least the “USSR” store. And prices for many products here are even lower than in Thailand. For example, beer or bread costs half a dollar, wine costs 5 dollars. Read more in our articles:

Ao Nang Beach, Krabi Province

Thailand is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about where to holiday abroad in the winter. Winter is the height of the season: no rain, the sun is shining, +30 in the air, and +28–29 in the water. Mango and papaya are singing. Nightclubs on Bangla Road are in full swing. Along with good weather, tourists fly to Thailand - prices for flights and accommodation become more expensive.

Family tourists with children will also have something to do: the island has aquarium (about 3-5 $), amusement park FantaSea with theatrical elephant show (about $55), water park Splash Jungle ($18-30). Stay in Nai Harn or Karon - these are the most calm and cozy areas.

What to do in winter in Phuket

• Rent a motorbike (~ $6-10 / 405-675 rubles) and drive around the entire island, counting Buddha statues along the way.

Ha Long Bay

A hospitable country with tropical nature, delicious food, cheap diving and surfing. Compared to Thailand, the climate here is cooler, the beaches are less crowded, and the resorts are quieter. Vietnam is good for independent travel as a couple, family or group. Therefore, choose a hotel that is cheaper, but with a convenient location - you won’t want to sit by the pool.

On New Year's Day, all festive events are held for tourists in hotels. Maximum - banquet and countdown to midnight. Fireworks displays are rare in the country.

Nha Trang is the most developed, interesting and fairly budget resort in Vietnam. Winter is the low season and good beach weather starts towards February. In December-January it is still cool and windy, but tickets are the cheapest. Don’t be afraid of bad weather: even in the off-season you can sunbathe (+25-28 in the air), in February you can swim (in the water it’s already +24-26), and on cloudy days you can go on excursions. It rains at least three to four times a month, but more often at night.

Holidays in Rio de Janeiro in winter are a dream come true: ocean, tropical nature, authentic culture and countless attractions. The only negative is the peak season, hence the high cost of the flight. You can fly here alone, as a couple, or in a group.

There are rarely frosts in the capital of Azerbaijan; the temperature on the coast is around +10, but it can be rainy.

In Azerbaijan, as in Russia, the New Year is celebrated on a grand scale. Restaurants offer a special New Year's program with a Caucasian flavor, and reservations must be made early.

The capital of Azerbaijan is an excellent choice for a family holiday. On holidays it is interesting to walk around the center of Baku.

The easiest (and cheaper!) way to get to Bali is by direct flight: you can fly directly to Denpasar (the capital of the island). There is a developed infrastructure, excellent hotels and magnificent beaches. If you are flying with children, choose the Sanur resort, if you want a noisy nightlife - the city of Kuta or Seminyak, if you like peace and quiet - the Canggu area.

If you are going to celebrate the New Year in Indonesia, don’t be surprised that the locals won’t even remember about the holiday. The night from December 31 to January 1 is celebrated exclusively for tourists in hotels and noisy areas, while the Balinese themselves celebrate their New Year Nyeppi in the spring.

Winter is considered the low season in Bali, but Russian tourists really like to come here at this time. Rains occur, but, as a rule, in the mornings or at night they do not interfere with beach holidays.
