At the same time, please note that in order to enter the territory of Russia from the EAEU member countries from 01.09.2021 (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan (more details here)), these foreign citizens are required to upload the PCR test result to the Travel Free COVID-19 app.
Also, for the above persons, the possibility of issuing permits, including visas, invitations and work permits, is resumed.
In addition, the Government of Russia lifted the restriction on the movement of all foreign citizens and stateless persons across the Russian-Mongolian and Russian-Chinese land borders. However, please note that in order to cross the border and enter Russia, foreign persons need to have permits, which, in turn, can be issued due to restrictions imposed by the Order of the Government of Russia of March 16, 2020 N 635-r, not to all foreign citizens.
At the same time, citizens of Russia are allowed to freely cross the land border with China, Mongolia, South Ossetia and Kazakhstan, according to the updated paragraph 14 of the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation of 27.03.2020 763-r.
