From 30.06.2025 the second stage of the experiment on testing the rules and conditions for entry into the Russian Federation and exit from the Russian Federation of citizens and stateless persons in accordance with the RF Government Resolution No. 1510 will begin.

The experiment will last until June 30, 2026.

The experiment will affect all foreign citizens and stateless persons crossing the state border of the Russian Federation at air checkpoints across the state border of the Russian Federation at international airports of the Moscow air zone (Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo), as well as Zhukovsky (Moscow region) and at the automobile checkpoint Mashtakovo (Orenburg region) during its implementation, with the exception of:
