The Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Mishutsin, signed a government decision on October 6, which allows citizens of 52 countries, including Turkey, to travel to Russia with a new unified electronic visa.
According to the new decision, with the new electronic visa, entering and staying in the whole of Russia will be possible as of February 2021.
