Foreign citizens entering Russia

Foreign nationals and stateless persons* travelling to the airports of the Russian Federation, including passengers in transit via airports in the Russian Federation, must present a medical document (certificate) with a negative COVID-19 result (PCR) in Russian or English. The test must be taken no later than 48 hours days prior to arrival in the Russian Federation.

The validity of the PCR test certificate is calculated starting from the date the biological material was collected. If it is not possible to submit the medical certificate in Russian or in English, it may be submitted in the official language of the country where the issuing organisation is registered, accompanied by a Russian translation certified by a consular official of the Russian Federation. During the flight, passengers must also fill in the form provided by the flight attendants.
