Practical notes
- Payment
- Visa/MC on evisa.kdmid.ru. Note: due to 2022 sanctions, Western bank Visa/MC may be declined on Russian portals. Use locally issued or non-Western card where possible.
- Transit — Depends on nationality
- Transit visa required for most nationalities transiting Russia by land. Air transit: airside exempt for most for up to 24 hours. Russia-Ukraine context makes transit very complex for some nationalities. Source: Russian MFA.
- Dual nationality
- Russia-US dual nationals face significantly elevated risk of detention, mobilization orders, or exit restrictions since 2022 military mobilization. Russia may consider US-Russian duals as Russian citizens only. UK-Russian duals: similar risk. Source: US Embassy Russia travel advisory + UK GOV.UK Russia advice (2026). Note: this is a practical risk, not a formal entry ban, but travel is strongly inadvisable.
- Travel advisory (level 4)
- Do Not Travel due to war with Ukraine, risk of wrongful detention, and terrorism.
