This classification is limited to Russian citizenship and does not establish a rule for dual nationals travelling as foreign citizens or for non-national travel documents. Official source: - [President of Russia: Constitution of the Russian Federation](https://kremlin.ru/acts/constitution) - **Current official route — Russia: ordinary passports visa-free up to 90 days** (Visa-free) The current MFA country table gives these ordinary-passport nationalities a visa-free short-visitor baseline of up to 90 days. - The country table's stated 90-day ordinary-passport or all-passport waiver controls; passport validity, migration registration, purpose, admission and any shorter treaty condition remain applicable. - This is not a work, residence, diplomatic, service, crew, APEC-card, local-border or special-document classification. Official source: - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: entry and stay conditions by foreign passport type](https://www.kdmid.ru/cons/visas/conditions-of-entry-foreign-citizens-in-russian-federation/) - **Current official route — Russia: ordinary passports visa-free where the current MFA table states no duration** (Visa-free) The current MFA country table expressly says these nationalities are visa-free for all passport types but does not state a nationality-specific duration in the displayed entry. - Do not infer an unlimited visitor stay from the table's silence on duration; immigration, registration, document and final-admission rules remain applicable. - The stated all-passport waivers may also permit specified internal identity documents, but this policy covers the ordinary passport relationship only. Official source: - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: entry and stay conditions by foreign passport type](https://www.kdmid.ru/cons/visas/conditions-of-entry-foreign-citizens-in-russian-federation/) - **Current official route — Russia: ordinary passports visa-free up to 30 days** (Visa-free) The current MFA table gives these ordinary passports a short visa-free baseline of up to 30 days. - Bosnia and Herzegovina is limited to 30 days in 60; the other displayed ordinary-passport waivers state up to 30 days. - This excludes diplomatic, service, crew, APEC-card, invitation, organized-tour and other special routes. Official source: - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: entry and stay conditions by foreign passport type](https://www.kdmid.ru/cons/visas/conditions-of-entry-foreign-citizens-in-russian-federation/) - **Current official route — Russia: ordinary passports visa-free up to 60 days** (Visa-free) The current MFA table gives Dominican Republic, Republic of Korea, Mauritius, Samoa and Cabo Verde ordinary passports a visa-free stay of up to 60 days. - This is the ordinary-passport visitor baseline only; it excludes the separately listed diplomatic, service, accredited-staff and other document routes. Official source: - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: entry and stay conditions by foreign passport type](https://www.kdmid.ru/cons/visas/conditions-of-entry-foreign-citizens-in-russian-federation/) - **Current official route — Russia: Brunei and Nauru ordinary passports visa-free up to 14 days** (Visa-free) The current MFA table records a 14-day visa-free short-stay rule for Brunei and Nauru. - This is a short visitor baseline; purpose, passport, registration and final border-admission rules remain separate. Official source: - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: entry and stay conditions by foreign passport type](https://www.kdmid.ru/cons/visas/conditions-of-entry-foreign-citizens-in-russian-federation/) - **Current official route — Russia: Chinese ordinary passports temporarily visa-free** (Visa-free) The MFA table grants Chinese ordinary passports visa-free entry for up to 30 days only through 14 September 2026. - This is a temporary ordinary-passport waiver. The table separately lists diplomatic/service treatment, organized-tour groups, crews and APEC-card routes. - Recheck after 14 September 2026; the unified e-visa route is separately available. Official sources: - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: entry and stay conditions by foreign passport type](https://www.kdmid.ru/cons/visas/conditions-of-entry-foreign-citizens-in-russian-federation/) - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: unified e-visa instructions](https://evisa.kdmid.ru/Home/Instruction?tt_force_outside=1) - **Current official route — Russia: Hong Kong and Macao permanent residents with the stated SAR passports visa-free** (Visa-free) The MFA table limits the Hong Kong and Macao passport waivers to permanent residents holding the respective valid SAR passport. - Hong Kong is up to 14 days and Macao up to 30 days, each only for a permanent resident holding the matching valid SAR passport. - This does not infer eligibility for another Chinese, British, Portuguese, residence or travel-document category. Official source: - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: entry and stay conditions by foreign passport type](https://www.kdmid.ru/cons/visas/conditions-of-entry-foreign-citizens-in-russian-federation/) - **Current official route — Russia: Serbian biometric ordinary passports visa-free up to 30 days** (Visa-free) The MFA table makes the Serbian ordinary-passport waiver conditional on a biometric passport and limits it to 30 days. - Only an ordinary biometric Serbian passport is covered, for up to 30 days; diplomatic and service rules are separate. Official source: - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: entry and stay conditions by foreign passport type](https://www.kdmid.ru/cons/visas/conditions-of-entry-foreign-citizens-in-russian-federation/) - **Current official route — Russia: Omani ordinary passports visa-free with annual cap** (Visa-free) The MFA table gives Omani ordinary passports visa-free entry up to 30 days per visit, capped at 90 days in a calendar year. - The 30-day-per-visit and 90-day-per-calendar-year limits apply. The e-visa is an alternative route, not an extension of the visa-free allowance. Official sources: - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: entry and stay conditions by foreign passport type](https://www.kdmid.ru/cons/visas/conditions-of-entry-foreign-citizens-in-russian-federation/) - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: unified e-visa instructions](https://evisa.kdmid.ru/Home/Instruction?tt_force_outside=1) - **Current official route — Russia: Saudi ordinary passports visa-free with annual cap** (Visa-free) The MFA table grants Saudi Arabian ordinary passports visa-free entry for up to 90 days in a calendar year. - The 90-days-per-calendar-year cap applies. The unified e-visa remains an alternative, more restrictive route. Official sources: - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: entry and stay conditions by foreign passport type](https://www.kdmid.ru/cons/visas/conditions-of-entry-foreign-citizens-in-russian-federation/) - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: unified e-visa instructions](https://evisa.kdmid.ru/Home/Instruction?tt_force_outside=1) - **Current official route — Russia: Myanmar ordinary passports visa-free with annual cap** (Visa-free) The current MFA country table grants Myanmar ordinary passports visa-free entry up to 30 days per visit, with a 90-day calendar-year cap. - The 30-day-per-visit and 90-day-per-calendar-year limits apply. The live unified-eVisa portal still lists Myanmar, so this current table-controlled visa-free baseline needs monitoring. Official source: - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: entry and stay conditions by foreign passport type](https://www.kdmid.ru/cons/visas/conditions-of-entry-foreign-citizens-in-russian-federation/) - **Current official route — Russia: named ordinary passports eligible for the unified electronic visa** (eVisa) The current MFA country table identifies this cohort as eligible for a unified e-visa. The portal confirms an issued unified e-visa is an actual single-entry electronic visa, not merely an online application or authorization. - Apply no earlier than 86 and no later than 4 days before entry using a machine-readable national passport issued by the nationality state and valid at least six months from application; each child needs a separate e-visa. - It is single entry, valid 120 days from issue, with a stay of no more than 30 calendar days, through only approved border crossing points. Arrival and departure days both count. - Visitor purposes are private/business visits, tourism, and the stated scientific, cultural, socio-political, economic or sporting events. Other purposes require a regular visa. - Movement is barred to territories, organisations and facilities requiring a special permit. Insurance is required unless reciprocity exempts the nationality; approval and admission remain discretionary. Official sources: - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: entry and stay conditions by foreign passport type](https://www.kdmid.ru/cons/visas/conditions-of-entry-foreign-citizens-in-russian-federation/) - [Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation: Russian MFA Consular Department: unified e-visa instructions](https://evisa.kdmid.ru/Home/Instruction?tt_force_outside=1) - **Current official route — Russia: other modelled ordinary foreign passports require a regular visa** (Visa required) For these nationalities, the current MFA country table states either visas for all passports or only a non-ordinary waiver and does not provide the unified e-visa. The MFA's general rule therefore requires a regular visa. - This is the ordinary foreign-passport short-visitor baseline. Diplomatic, official, service, special, crew, accredited-staff, APEC-card, group-tour, invitation, local-border and other stated exceptions are not passport-wide access. - A regular visa is obtained through a Russian diplomatic mission or consular post at the person's place of permanent residence. Visa type, invitation, validity, document recognition, purpose, registration and admission requirements remain case-specific.
