<h2>Mikhail Mishustin approved the list of states whose citizens will be able to obtain e-visas</h2> Starting from 2021, the unified electronic visa will be introduced in Russia. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin approved the list of states whose citizens will be able to obtain it. This list includes 52 countries, these are the states whose citizens could previously enter Russia on an e-visa as part of a pilot project. Qatar has not been included in the list, since a visa-free regime between our countries has been effective since 23 February 2020.&nbsp;The pilot e-visa project was launched in 2017 and had several restrictions. Foreign citizens carrying such a visa could only cross the border through checkpoints in the Far Eastern Federal District, St-Petersburg, Leningrad Region, and Kaliningrad Region. Moreover, they could not leave these regions.&nbsp;Now e-visas will be effective on the entire territory of Russia. The border will be crossed through any specially equipped checkpoint, regardless of the region, and travels will be allowed throughout the country. In addition, the period of stay of foreign citizens in Russia will be extended from 8 to 16 days.&nbsp;E-visas will be issued via the Internet for tourist, business, humanitarian, and guest visits. No invitations, hotel reservations or any other documents confirming the purpose of the trip will be required to obtain an e-visa. The consular fee will amount at $40. Children under 6 years of age will receive e-visas free of charge.&nbsp;The introduction of the unified e-visa in Russia will help develop tourism, increase the investment attractiveness of the regions, and contribute to the overall growth of the economy.&nbsp;THE LIST OF COUNTRIES:&nbsp;Austria Andorra Bahrain Belgium Bulgaria China (including Taiwan) Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Vatican Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hungary India Indonesia Turkey Ireland Iceland Italy Japan Kuwait Latvia Lithuania Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malaysia Malta Mexico Monaco Netherlands North Macedonia Norway Oman Philippines Poland Portugal Romania San Marino Saudi Arabia Serbia Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland
