Russia will expand the reach of its electronic visa program beginning August 23, doubling the validity period from 60 to 120 days and extending the maximum stay from 16 to 30 consecutive days.
The move, announced this week, is expected to make the country more accessible to travelers from 64 eligible nations while preserving the program’s single-entry restriction.
The e-visa, introduced nationwide in August 2023, has quickly become a popular means of entry.
