Traveling to Russia and beyond
In this section I will keep you informed about the visa policy for traveling to Russia. The Russian visa is an authorization granted to a foreign citizen to enter the territory of the Russian Federation. Currently citizens of 142 countries need a visa to enter Russia.

OPTION 3. RUSSIA WITHOUT A VISA (VISA-FREE). Finally, it should be noted that citizens of 60 countries, among them the majority of South American and Central American countries, do not need a visa to enter Russia.
