Vacation abroad: in which countries do not need a visa

More and more Russians like to travel and spend their vacation time abroad. An era passed when numerous crowds devoted time, free from work, exclusively to traveling around the Golden Ring of Russia or traveling to the Gulf of Finland. Fashion for exotics came even to those who remained faithful to Lake Baikal and the Caucasus - sometimes vacation abroad is cheaper, and service - an order of magnitude better. But on the way to the cherished European countries there is a curtain - no longer Iron, of the times of the USSR, but external. Embassies of the Schengen states are not in a hurry to open visas to citizens of the Russian Federation, and the process of obtaining the coveted paste in the passport is long, tedious and tied - which is a sin to hide - with humiliation. Therefore, some tourists, having time and money, choose for their holiday countries, which do not need a visa.

Until now, there are people who do not have a passport. But even for such persons, foreign countries, albeit near, are not closed. At the moment, there are 8 countries where Russian citizens are allowed on an internal passport. From the countries of Eastern Europe are Ukraine, Belarus and Transnistria. In Belarus, you can stay as long as you like, and not only rest there, but also learn and work. Rest in Ukraine on the shores of the Black Sea or the Sea of Azov is possible only for 90 days. To the necessary list of countries that do not need a visa, one can also refer to the unrecognized Transnistrian republic. In the North Caucasus do not require a passport and, accordingly, do not need a visa in such few recognized countries as Abkhazia and South Ossetia. However, we must remember that travel through them to Georgia is impossible.

And what about Asia? Which countries do not need a visa there? In this part of the world, the list is much larger. On a national Russian passport, you can enter Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan for 90 days. In Kyrgyzstan, you will not have problems with registration, but in Tajikistan and Kazakhstan you need to register accordingly for three and five days to avoid trouble when leaving the country.

If you are a happy owner of a foreign passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, your chances of traveling around the world increase enormously. It's too long to simply list which countries do not need a visa for Russians, because there are more than five dozens of such countries in the world. They are located almost on all continents. In Europe, this is Moldova, where Russians can stay up to 90 days, as well as Serbia, Kosovo and Montenegro. Some European countries sometimes cancel visas for the tourist season (mainly in summer) - Croatia, Macedonia. Albania becomes for citizens of Russia a visa-free country from May 25 to September 25, with the opportunity to rest here for up to 90 days. So rest on the sunny Adriatic is possible and without a tiring stand in the queues of embassies.

But interesting information about which countries do not need a visa, for lovers of the East. Some Asian countries limit the visa-free stay of Russian citizens to their country up to 14-15 days (Vietnam, Hong Kong, Laos), some for 3 weeks (Philippines) or 1 month (Lebanon, Malaysia, Thailand and Turkey), and 3 months (Azerbaijan , Armenia, Israel).
