decided to
waive visa requirements of citizens of 18 countries, including India.
Visitors will need to register their personal details on a website before
traveling to the region.
Indian citizens will soon be able to visit certain cities in the Russian Far
East without a visa. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, on April 18,
approved the list of 18 countries, including India, whose citizens would not
need to undergo the usual procedure of obtaining a Russian visa to visit
the Far East.
Once the regime is in place, Indian citizens can register their personal
information on a website to register their details. The visa-free facility
will only be applicable to select cities in the Russian Far East and will
require visitors to enter the country in Vladivostok.
“We are actively forming the modern infrastructure and creating
special
economic regimes in the Far East”, Medvedev said. He expressed the
hope
that the cancellation of visas would promote growth of foreign investments
and development of tourist industry in the Far East.
Russia and India to promote bilateral tourist flows
Visa procedures were simplified for the citizens of 18 countries including
India, China, Japan, Turkey, Iran, UAE, Mexico and Singapore.
Medvedev noted that the visa-free regime was given only for citizens of
those countries who were ready for a reciprocal approach with Russia.
A free port zone was created in Vladivostok in 2015. The project was
intended to develop cross-border commerce and to integrate the Russian Far
East with global transportation routes. The realisation of this project
would have a significant economic effect on Primorye Territory and the
neighbouring regions. |
