It is important to keep in mind that the pandemic situation is changeable and the Russian authorities, as well as those of third countries, may change the provisions without prior notice. Therefore, it is the traveler’s responsibility to check with the Russian embassy and countries of stopover before making travel decisions.
It is also advisable to verify the pandemic situation before making a decision to travel, as well as to have sufficient resources to face flight delays or cancellations (both for the eventuality of having to purchase new tickets, as well as to cover unforeseen expenses for lodging and food for a stay beyond the originally planned).
It is very important to have a comprehensive medical insurance that covers the necessary care and to verify that it is valid in the Russian Federation, since private medical service is very expensive, especially in cases of hospitalization. Remember that tourists are not entitled to free medical service.
Insecurity in russia
Winston Churchill’s observation is as appropriate today as it was in the mid-20th century. Russia is as intriguing as ever. Stubbornly steadfast as a country that will not bow to convention, refusing to be labeled European or Asian, Russia remains Russia.
While the country has modernized by leaps and bounds since the fall of the Soviet Union, the culture remains even more defiant in its distinction from Western norms. Poignant ballets and operas, rather than sensual musicals, fill the billboard and sincerity, often mistaken for seriousness, is prized over polite spectacles.
Besides the seduction of the enigmatic Russian soul, there are countless reasons to visit the largest country in the world. Its pristine forests are ripe territory for explorers with a thirst for adventure and wondrous scenery. The towns and cities are hidden treasures for history buffs. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, both religion and art have flourished, reviving the rich legacy left by the Russian Empire.
How insecure is russia
The MAEC makes special emphasis in 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 in Russia, you will have to arrange time-consuming 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.
