Russia wanted to simplify the issuance of visas to foreigners for vaccine tours

Chapter “Travel Assistance”: a visa for vaccine tourists should be issued according to a simplified procedure

foreigners who want to come to Russia for the vaccine. The head of the Turpomosch association Alexander Osaulenko told Izvestia about this.

According to him, the term for issuing such visas is proposed to be reduced to 1-3 days. The expert emphasized that the visa for those entering under this program “should be a prototype of an electronic visa” and be issued according to a simplified procedure. “The decision on this issue must now be approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs,” Osaulenko clarified.

The head of Tourist Assistance also noted that a large influx of foreigners is expected for the Russian single-component vaccine Sputnik Light, since the drug has already been proven its effectiveness. The launch of organized vaccine tourism is scheduled for January 2022.

In September, the head of Rostourism Zarina Doguzova said that vaccine tours to Russia for foreign tourists could be launched before the end of this year.
