Russia open borders
The MAEC makes special emphasis on the section of visas and the state of the passport at the time of traveling. It is safe to travel to Russia, but it is essential to carry a proper visa, with a certain validity for the days you are going to be in the country. If this is not the case and your visa expires while you are in Russia, you will have to arrange laborious procedures and you will be denied a stay in any hotel. In addition, you will have to make sure that your passport is in perfect condition (covers well glued, pages not wrinkled…), has at least 2 free pages and an expiration date 6 months longer than the date of departure from Russia.
In case you are going to make night tours by train, as in any other country, you should be careful with valuables and always carry them with you. Also, avoid taking unlicensed cabs, as there have been some robberies and scams.
It is safe to travel to Russia, but you have to pay special attention to the bureaucracy. In addition to having your visa in order, when you arrive in the country you will have to complete the so-called immigration card. You have to carry it with you at all times, as well as your passport, as the authorities may require it at any time. In case of loss, you have to go to an immigration office to get a duplicate made.

5 terrible things about living in russia
Russia has been one of the countries that has shown me the most hospitality. And it’s not my first trip. The experience I’ve had in the world’s largest country has been so good, in part, because of traveling alone. When you do, you become more social, the opportunities to connect with locals increase, and the best things happen to you. Let me tell you first and then you decide if you want to travel alone to Russia and Siberia.
Personally, I haven’t encountered any, although, one of the most common concerns people have conveyed to me is about the language. They always tell me: “I just don’t know English. Most Russians don’t either.
If you decide to visit Russia in winter, which I recommend, because it is quite an experience, it will be much easier to buy tickets on short notice, even one or two days in advance, since it is low season and you will be sharing your trip with locals.
Even if you don’t use it to stay in other people’s houses, there are many events where you can learn about Russian culture. I was even invited to a company party in Yekaterinburg and I was able to see the kind of celebration they do and all that thanks to using Couchsurfing.
