As of today, a new rule is being applied for citizens of Azerbaijan traveling to Russia without a visa.
Modern.az reports that from July 1, it is mandatory for citizens of countries with a visa-free regime with Russia, including Azerbaijan, to use the "Gosuslugi RuID" mobile application when entering the country.
The information was announced by Dmitry Gusev, First Deputy Chairman of the Control Committee of the Russian State Duma. According to him, the purpose of the new requirement is to strengthen security and control in the process of entering the country.
According to the new rules, Azerbaijani citizens planning to visit Russia must submit a relevant application through the "Gosuslugi RuID" application at least 72 hours before entering the country.
The rule does not apply to citizens of Belarus, children under 6 years old, diplomats, holders of service passports, and members of official delegations.
