an electronic permit for obtaining a visa upon arrival, when you only receive a visa permit on the Internet, and at the airport they paste a visa into your passport (for example, in Vietnam, if your stay exceeds 15 days).

Both visas are convenient and save a lot of time and hassle. Usually, to obtain a visa authorization, you need to pay a fee and send scanned copies required documents... Below is a list of countries where in 2020 you can travel without a visa in the traditional sense - that is, you can either apply for a visa permit via the Internet, or get an e-visa.

Foreign trips, regardless of their purpose (business or tourist), are always associated with compliance with certain border crossing rules established for each country. It often happens that the need for a trip arises spontaneously, and there is no time to apply for a visa. Your trip can only take place if the state you intend to visit is included in the list of countries with visa-free travel allowed for Russians in 2016.

Options for crossing the border without a visa

Visa processing is a troublesome process that requires collecting documents, visiting the embassy, paying the consular fee and waiting for the deadline. But there are countries with a simplified visa regime and visa-free countries where you can enter without unnecessary hassle and time consuming.

There are the following ways to cross the border without an official entry permit. Some states allow Russian residents to enter:

by an internal passport without a visa;
on a Russian passport without a visa;
by a passport with a visa obtained at a border checkpoint or at an airport;
according to a passport, if you have an online visa (a preliminary decision on issuing a visa, received by e-mail, while a stamp in a form printed on a printer is affixed at the airport or already upon entering the country).

The first two options apply to countries with a visa-free regime for citizens of the Russian Federation. You can go to these countries freely, without wasting time to obtain an entry permit.

There are a number of states that allow Russians visa-free transit. If during flights there is a transfer in these countries to another plane, citizens of the Russian Federation may not receive a visa to a country with a transit airport, if they have a ticket and legal grounds for entering the final destination.

Going on a trip abroad without permission to enter a particular country, it is better to check once again whether it is on the list of states that have retained a visa-free regime with Russia for 2016.

Countries with the entry of Russians on an internal passport

According to an internal passport, without any visa processing, citizens of the Russian Federation in 2016 can enter the following countries:

Abkhazia;
South Ossetia
Belarus;
Tajikistan;
Kazakhstan;
Kyrgyzstan.

When entering Abkhazia, in addition to presenting a passport, you must pay fees, including insurance and resort fees. The insurance premium is compulsory for everyone. An agreement is concluded for the amount of at least 30 thousand. rubles. In this case, an amount is paid in the calculation of 15 rubles for each day of stay. Tourists and vacationers pay the resort tax - a one-time 30 rubles. And those traveling on personal car another 150 rubles for a passenger car, and 300 for a truck.

You can stay in Belarus for up to 30 days without any registration. Despite the simplified visa-free regime, when crossing the Belarusian border, Russian citizens must fill out a customs declaration, which must be kept until leaving the country.

Russians entering Kazakhstan fill out a migration card at checkpoints, which is valid for 90 days. Citizens of the Russian Federation can stay without registration on the territory of the country for no more than 30 days.

The migration card is also filled out when crossing the border of Kyrgyzstan using an internal passport. It is in it that a stamp is put on the entry into the country (if you have a passport, such a stamp is put in it). An administrative fee of 10 USD is required.

In Tajikistan, it is allowed to stay for up to 90 days, but within three days it is mandatory to obtain registration at the place of stay.

For example, this year, out of 27 countries issuing permits for Russian citizens to enter directly at the border, only 3 do it for free. These are countries such as:

Haiti;
Gambia;
Lebanon.

Despite the fact that the Lebanese government made a visa for Russians free of charge, when crossing the land border, they may be required to pay a fee of 17 USD.

Countries where visas can be ordered online in 2016

In a number of states, there is a practice of issuing visas on-line, via the Internet. This also applies to the simplified form of the visa regime, when the issuance of entry permits is formalized. Such a visa, after confirmation sent to your e-mail, can be obtained at the airport or already at the border crossing. For Russian citizens this year, such visas can be obtained when traveling to the following countries:

Myanmar;
India;
Kenya;
Mexico;
Sao Tome and Principe;
Sri Lanka;
Rwanda;
Montserrat.

The procedure for obtaining such a visa is simple, although it requires certain material costs. As a rule, such services are paid for, but problems with obtaining a visa are rare. You print the permission sent to your email address and you can go on your trip with it. It can be stamped at the airport or at the border point of the country of arrival. To travel, you must have with you:

international passport;
return ticket or ticket to any other country;
travel agency voucher;
printout of visa confirmation;
money in sufficient quantity to stay in the country for a certain period.

In case of refusal to issue an e-visa, you must contact the embassy in the usual way.

Countries with visa-free transit

There are still a number of countries with a visa entry, which you can visit without a visa, if you are passing through them in transit to some third country. In this case, you need to have on hand tickets to the final destination and legal grounds for entering there. The time spent in such transit countries is limited by tight deadlines, but this gives you a reason not to sit in the airport buffer zone, waiting for departure, but to go out into the city, see its sights, do shopping or a business meeting. The list of countries to which visa-free transit entry is possible for Russians in 2016 includes the following states:

24 hours are available for a transit passenger in countries such as Aruba, Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius, Curacao, New Zealand(with an Australian visa) and Sint Maarten;
36 hours - Bulgaria for passengers with visas from Romania and Cyprus;
72 hours - Brunei and Japan;
96 hours - Singapore and the United Arab Emirates;
You can stay in Romania for 120 hours with visas to Bulgaria, Cyprus or other countries;
144 hour stay for transit passengers on its territory is allocated by China.

Without a visa, when traveling overland from northern Senegal to southern Senegal, Gambia allows stay on its land, and Cameroon - only for passengers who have the right to enter neighboring countries.

In some countries, the airport may be located quite far from the city. With a limited time of stay in these countries, leaving the terminal building, you must take this circumstance into account in order to return on time to the departure of your flight.

How to check a country's visa-free regime

Before going on a business trip, business trip or vacation abroad, it is advisable to know exactly whether the country you need to travel to is a visa-free country for citizens of the Russian Federation on this moment time. You can check this on the consular website information portal(http://www.kdmid.ru) or by a special service - timaticweb.com. When boarding an aircraft, airlines strictly control on it whether the passenger has legal grounds to enter a particular state. This is due, first of all, to the fact that the airline is obliged to return to their homeland at its own expense the passengers who are not admitted to the territory of the country of destination.

Unfortunately, the information on the embassy website is not always updated in a timely manner, so it is more preferable to use the timatic service. There are certain difficulties in using it. The fact is that the database of this database is partially closed. Only representatives of aviation companies can use it on the official resource. The demo version of this program is incomplete. To obtain information, registration and payment is required, which an individual cannot afford. Therefore, it is more practical and accessible to access timaticweb.com through the interface of individual companies that do not close this information to clients.

Here are some addresses for accessing the Timatic program:

Passport requirements for visa-free travel

When preparing for a trip abroad, you must make sure in advance that your internal and foreign passports are suitable for such a trip.
