Rússia: o que saber antes da viagem
O essencial
- FCDO advises against all travel to Russia. Consular support and exit options are limited.
- Foreign-issued Visa and Mastercard do not work in Russian shops or ATMs.
- Check ruID rules for visa-free entry; work and study travel has additional requirements.
Entrada e vistos
British visitors require a visa in advance. Border biometric checks and an immigration card may apply. Register stays exceeding 7 working days through your host or hotel. The ruID experiment continues in 2026; Kazakhstan’s embassy requires it for its citizens entering visa-free for work or study from 1 July. Confirm rules for your nationality and purpose.
