Starting from 2021 Filipinos will have an easy way to visit Russia

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail #Mishustin has signed a directive approving a list of countries whose citizens can apply for e-visas.
The list comprises the 52 countries, including Philippines , whose citizens could apply for an e-visa during the pilot stage of the project.

A pilot e-visa project was launched in 2017 and included a number of restrictions. For example, foreigners with an e-visa could only enter Russia through checkpoints in the Far Eastern Federal District, St Petersburg and the Leningrad and Kaliningrad regions. And they were not allowed to travel outside these regions.

As of now, the e-visa will be applicable throughout Russia. Foreigners can enter via the specially equipped checkpoints anywhere in the country and travel throughout Russia. In addition to this, the duration of a stay for foreigners has been extended from eight to 16 days.
E-visas will be issued online for tourism, business, humanitarian and guest trips. Applicants do not need an invitation, hotel booking or any other documents to confirm their reasons for travel.

So, starting from 2021 Filipinos will have an easy way to visit Russia
