Germans and Chinese are among the leaders in requests for electronic visas to Russia
The Germans were among the leaders in requests for electronic visas to Russia. This was announced by the head of the consular department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Alexey Klimov in a conversation with TASS.
He clarified that since the beginning of this year, a total of about 178 thousand visas have been issued, more than half of which were received by Chinese citizens. The Germans were in second place, followed by the Turks. The fourth place was taken by Indians, the fifth by citizens of Saudi Arabia.
Earlier it became known that the Russian Foreign Ministry may make a proposal in the fall to increase the permissible period of stay in the country on an electronic visa. Now this period is 16 days.
Russia launched a service for issuing unified electronic visas for foreign tourists in August 2023. Citizens of 55 countries, including European ones, can receive them.
