So the new season of 2014 has come for Russian tourists, most of whom prefer to choose countries with a visa-free entry for their holidays. This time, there were no major changes.
Only one country, in addition to last year's list, added a visa-free regime - South Korea (up to 60 days of free stay with a valid passport). Already now, this direction is actively being advertised on many travel sites.
Many foreign countries will welcome Russian tourists in 2014. Some of them offer to take advantage of bonuses that will allow you to visit foreign territory without additional hassle. To do this, you just need to present a tourist visa. And some countries greatly simplify the tedious collection of documents, you just need to fill out an online questionnaire.
For visa-free entry into the country, a tourist needs only to have a valid passport with a certain period of validity - usually it must be at least six months before its expiration. For unimpeded entry into the country, the following documents may also be required: a return ticket, a voucher for confirming a hotel reservation (tourist voucher) and a certain amount of money.
The most hospitable countries in 2014, which will not require any documents at all, except for the general civil passport of the Russian Federation, are Belarus and Abkhazia. Despite the political unrest that has seized Ukraine, this country is still happy to receive Russian tourists who do not have a passport. And fans of extreme recreation will be able to go to Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Enjoy your travels!
