VISA FEES INCREASED FOR EU CITIZENS
A law is signed on synchronizing the regime for collecting fees for issuing Russian visas with the standards established by the EU, Denmark, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, authorities of which have unilaterally and completely suspended the operation of international agreements with Russia on the mutual simplification of issuing visas, including switching to use of higher rates of visa fees.
Restrictions have been introduced on the visa-free entry of diplomats. Visa preferences have been cancelled for members of official delegations, national and regional governments and parliaments, constitutional and supreme courts, as well as journalists from the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
Entrepreneurs, persons involved in scientific, cultural or creative activities, participants in international sporting events and official exchange programs between sister cities, schoolchildren, undergraduate and graduate students heading for study and internship, close relatives of EU citizens living in Russia, as well as heavy trucks drivers are still entitled to obtain a Russian visa at the territorial offices of the Ministry of Internal Affairs without formalising invitations.
