Each country has its own rules for visitors of various nationalities. Therefore, before departure, we recommend that you check the entry and travel requirements of the country you plan to visit.

Please note that entry and travel restrictions may apply in some destinations. As a traveler, you are responsible for ensuring that you meet the necessary requirements to gain access to your destination before leaving the airport.

Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is a requirement for foreign nationals without a visa traveling to or through Canada by air. Citizens and travelers with a valid visa are not included.

Russians can leave their country

Russian passport (in Russian, Заграничный паспорт гражданина Росссийской Федерациии, transl. Foreign passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation) is a document issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Russian citizens for international travel. This external Russian passport is different from the internal Russian passport, which is a mandatory identity document for travel and identification within Russia. Russian citizens must use their Russian passports when leaving or entering Russia, unless traveling to/from a country where the internal Russian ID is recognized as a valid travel document.

In addition to regular passports, there are two types of special passports for travel abroad: diplomatic passports and service passports (issued to government employees abroad on official business).

Foreigners coming to Russia faced various restrictions during the tsarist period; border magistrates could allow foreigners to pass within the state only with the permission of the higher government. During the Instability era, in order to travel within the country, so-called travel cards (in Russian, проезжие грамоты) were introduced, mainly for police control purposes. Peter I, by the decree of October 30, 1719, declared them mandatory for travel, following the imposition the compulsory military service and the capitation tax. In 1724, in order to avoid the possibility of evading the payment of the poll tax, special rules on peasants’ absences were established.

Visa to Russia for citizens of Germany can be received at a Russian Consulate or Embassy if you have an invitation from Russia. In turn, the foreign citizen must fill in a special form and pay the consular fee.

The processing of an invitation to Russia for citizens of Germany is carried out by the host party who is in Russia. This can be a relative or acquaintance, a travel agency, a company or entity. The format of the invitation differs depending on the type of visa and the purpose of the trip.

A private invitation can be issued by the territorial body of the Federal Migration Service (FMS). If a foreigner is invited to Russia by a relative or friend, he/she should apply to the Department of the Federal Migration Service at his/her place of residence. If the host party is a legal entity, then its representative shall apply to the territorial department of the Federal Migration Service at the place of its accreditation.
