Do I need a visa to go to Russia from Heihe?

Whether you need a visa from Heihe to Russia depends on the way and purpose of the trip.

1. With regard to group tours, according to the Agreement between the Governments of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Russian Federation on Mutual Exemption of Group Tourist Visas, citizens of China can sign up for group tours at travel agencies designated by the National Tourism Administration, and they do not need to apply for visas to go to Russia with valid passports. It should be noted that each team must have at least 5 people and must be led by a professional team leader to carry out tourism activities according to the predetermined itinerary and time. This is also the only way to go to Russia without a visa from Heihe.

2. If it is a self-help tour, and the purpose of the trip is not within the scope of visa exemption or electronic visa, or if you want to stay in Russia for more than the specified time, you need to apply for ordinary visas before entering the country, such as business visas, work visas, study visas, personal visas, etc. The process is: bring your passport, visa application form, travel itinerary and other materials to the Russian consulate in China. Different visa types require different materials. You can also choose to find a company agent or apply for an electronic visa online in advance. After getting the visa, you can go to Russia by buying a boat ticket at Heihe Travel Inspection Port.
