“The Russian Foreign Ministry’s recommendation dated June 21, 2019 to Russian citizens to refrain from traveling to Georgia is revoked,” reads the message posted on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website.
Earlier, Vladimir Putin by his decree abolished the visa regime with Georgia from May 15. From this date, citizens of Georgia will be able to enter the territory of Russia through border checkpoints open to international passenger traffic. Citizens of Georgia will be able to visit our country for up to 90 days without issuing a visa to the country.
Entry is allowed “for diplomatic, official, private, commercial, touristic, humanitarian purposes, as well as for short-term study”.
At the same time, the entry and exit of Georgian citizens, the commentary continues, “the intention to study in Russian educational institutions for a period of more than 90 days, to engage in professional activities, to temporarily or permanently reside in the Russian Federation” is carried out on visas.
The Russian Foreign Ministry’s comment also recalls that Georgian citizens can now enter Russia without a visa for 72 hours, provided they are traveling on cruise ships, as well as those arriving for tourist purposes on ferries. .
