It will be easier for foreigners to get a visa to Russia

It will be easier for foreigners to receive documents for entry into Russia.

The Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation adopted a new regulation, the terms of document`s issue on the basis of which a foreign citizen or stateless person may enter the country are reduced by 10 days.

Documents on invitations for foreign citizens can be sent through a single portal of public services, there you can also track these documents, – informs the “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”.

However, a minor who enters into Russia on his passport, will also need a separate invitation.

The new regulation clarifies the list of citizens who will be denied an invitation. In particular, it includes the citizens who violated immigration laws in the past. In addition, the document clarifies who can issue an invitation to foreigners in Russia, what purpose may be the reason for the invitation and other legal details.

The new regulation entirely cancels the one that was approved by the Federal Migration Service in 2008, including the amendments adopted in 2010.
