They must present a negative COVID-19 test on landing, performed no later than 72 hours before the date of arrival on the territory of the Russian Federation. The document can be presented in Russian or English. If this document does not exist, foreign nationals are required to take the COVID-19 test within 72 hours of arriving in the Russian Federation.
