Changes in the conditions of entry into the Russian Federation According to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1510 dated November 7, 2024, an experiment on testing the rules of entry/exit of foreign citizens and stateless persons has been launched on the territory of the Russian Federation since December 1, 2024. The experiment is aimed at creating a digital profile of a foreign citizen and is implemented in two stages. The first stage runs from December 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 at Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, Zhukovsky International airports (Moscow Region), as well as at the Alekseevka automobile checkpoint (Samara Region). Biometric registration of incoming persons is carried out at these points (photos and papillary patterns of fingers). The second stage is scheduled for the period from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026. In addition, foreign citizens planning to enter the territory of the Russian Federation on a visa—free basis (including citizens of the EAEU member states, with the exception of the Republic of Belarus) are required to register electronically through a "digital profile" no later than 72 hours before entry, or within 4 hours after entry.
