Arrival at Russian Capital – basic information

​

If you want to visit Russia you should know that for some countries we have visa free regime (30-90 days)

For other countries visa is obligatory. In any case we strongly recommend everybody, who is planning to visit Russia, first visit our Russian Consulates to get all necessary and fresh information including what kind of documents and invitations are required if you need visa to enter. Before coming to Russia we strongly recommend to get your insurance because medical service in Russia and doctors are expensive.

Basic Moscow Airports are Sheremetyevo , Domodyedovo,Vnukovo , Zhukovsky.

​

On arrival passport control has special free of queues passing area  for diplomats. So if you have diplomatic passport you should go there. After passport control and luggage pick up you should pass Russian customs through green or red corridors. In red one you should declare all items or goods that are obligatory for this procedure.Russian customs rules you can find here  

In the airport during the day you can buy Sim card for your cell phone and exchange money. We recommend all arrivals not to exchange money in airports or to change just a little because in airports and at railway stations currency exchange rate is always unprofitable. Also in Airports you can book a room in one of the airports partner hotels.

From every airport you can get taxi or use aero express -..... to read more visit official website of Rus-a Media - First Information Guide to Moscow and Russia - www.rus-a.com
