You do not need to apply for a visa in advance to enter these countries. The main thing is a passport. But when passing through passport control, you may be asked for additional documents, for example:

If the necessary papers are not available, they may not be allowed into the country.
So choose a country, prepare your documents and hit the road!
Very soon summer will come to Russia and many of our compatriots will face the question of a trip to the sea. After all, after a long winter, you really want to plunge into the warm waves and completely forget about problems and worries. But most Russians are embarrassed by traveling to countries where they have to apply for a visa. This process sometimes becomes quite costly and long, especially for those who live in remote areas of our country. Therefore, cheap tours to countries with a visa-free regime for Russian citizens are in great demand.
Benefits of a visa-free holiday
A trip to the sea abroad without a visa gives travelers a lot of advantages. Keep in mind that spontaneous travel to the southern shores is possible only in visa-free countries. That is, if you suddenly have a couple of free days, and you want to spend them on the coast, then only tours without a visa will be available to you.
Keep in mind that obtaining a visa will require additional costs, and before a vacation, such expenses are highly undesirable for any family. Therefore, tours without a visa are always much cheaper than those that include the collection and sending of documents.
Thanks to countries that do not require a visa for Russians, travelers can even visit several countries in one trip. Our compatriots quite often use this, trying to see as much as possible and get the most impressions from a vacation at sea.
If you prefer independent trips, rather than traveling as part of a tourist group, then the question of where to go without a visa to the sea should be key for you. All tour operators know that visa centers are much more willing to issue visas to organized tourists, and independent travelers may also be denied entry to a particular country. Especially often this practice is followed by the British and Americans. It is also quite difficult to get it issued only subject to many rules.
Based on the foregoing, it is not surprising that our compatriots prefer holidays that do not require a visa. Let's find out where to go without a visa to the sea.
Countries where Russians will not require a visa
Success is almost 80% dependent on the choice of country. And only 20% of success falls on the hotel and the mood of the vacationers themselves. If you are interested in where to go without a visa to the sea, then our list will be very useful to you:
- Montenegro;
- Turkey;
- Vietnam;
- Thailand;
- Dominican Republic;
- Israel;
- Maldives;
- Morocco.
An impressive list, isn't it? In these countries, almost every Russian can relax, and a variety of options will make it possible not only to go to the first country that comes across, but to carefully choose the right resort. Moreover, we have included far from all countries in our list. In fact, there are more than fifty of them, but we decided to consider only the most popular and sought-after destinations among our compatriots.
Montenegro: features of recreation for Russians
If you dream of a sea coast that does not require a visa, then consider Montenegro. It has a lot of advantages over the already developed tourist routes and, moreover, it belongs to fairly budget countries, which is important in the context of the ongoing economic crisis around the world.
Many travel agencies in Moscow and other Russian cities offer cheap tours to Montenegro for seven or ten days. Usually their cost varies between twenty to forty thousand rubles. It is also quite easy for independent travelers to get to the resorts of Montenegro - regular flights depart from many cities to Tivat and Podgorica. The cost of round-trip tickets starts from ten thousand rubles. Absolutely everyone can rent housing in Montenegro, besides, the prices for rooms in hotels and hostels will please Russians who save their budget. For example, a room in a good hotel in Tivat costs from 15 euros. Of course, you can stay in the most luxurious hotels in the country, but in this case, be prepared to pay from fifty euros per day.
Russians can stay in Montenegro without a visa for thirty days, you only need a passport and medical insurance. Please note that the last item is not mandatory, but will greatly facilitate your stay in the country. Keep in mind that you must be registered with a special department for working with foreigners. If you plan to stay in a hotel or hostel, then for one euro this will be done by the staff at the reception. But those who will live in rented apartments will have to do it on their own. Otherwise, when leaving Montenegro, you will face a very large fine (at least two hundred euros).
Turkey: the most favorite destination for Russian tourists
We will not describe the delights of a holiday in the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea in Turkey. Every Russian has experienced all the advantages of these well-known resorts at least once in his life. Many of our compatriots have been coming here for several years in order to recharge themselves with the energy of this hospitable country for a whole year.
According to Russian tour operators in 2017, due to the resumption of flights to Turkey, a real hype is expected in this direction. Now early booking beats all records, and in the future, travel agents hope to sell more a large number of hot tickets.
According to the agreement between Russia and Turkey, citizens of our country can stay on the territory of the Turkish state for no more than 90 days. In the customs control zone, travelers receive a stamped visa free of charge. Moreover, you can enter the country several times in six months. The main thing is that the total number of days does not exceed ninety.
Vietnam: rest in hospitable Asia
Hospitable Vietnam has long gained popularity among Russians. Therefore, if you are thinking about where to go without a visa to the sea, then be sure to pay attention to this Asian country. In recent years, quite warm relations have been established between Vietnam and Russia, which have made the visa policy extremely flexible.
For a tourist trip, our compatriots do not need to apply for a visa, they can stay in Vietnam for fifteen days. This is quite enough to get to know the country and spend time on the luxurious beaches of the South China Sea.
If you plan to live in Vietnam for a longer time, then consider applying for a visa. But usually this process is not of interest to tourists who come only for the sea and the sun.
Thailand: the most affordable vacation for Russians
Holidays in Thailand have long been budgetary, a ticket for a week can be purchased for only fifteen to twenty thousand rubles. And you can relax in this country almost all year round. Of course, it is worth considering that rains come to Thailand from April to August, but they do not prevent tourists from enjoying the warm sea at all. The fact is that they are usually short-lived, and then sunny and hot weather is restored.
The high season in the kingdom starts from November and lasts until April, during this period the most tourists come to the resorts of Thailand. Russians can stay in the country for thirty days; upon entering the kingdom, they must show return tickets. The absence of a paid flight to any other country may serve as a basis for denial of entry into Thailand.
Our compatriots, who are ready to spend more than one month in the land of smiles, use a visa-run. This loophole in Thai law is exploited by many Russians. In order to be able to rest in Thailand for another month, they travel outside of it and immediately return back. You can do this procedure no more than three times.
Beach holidays in the Dominican Republic
What is Dominican Republic? Oh, it's just a great vacation on white sandy beaches under rustling palm trees. It is simply impossible to forget a few weeks spent in this hospitable country. Therefore, it is worth thinking about organizing a holiday in the Dominican Republic, especially since Russians do not need a visa to this country.
To enter our compatriots, you will need a passport and a tourist voucher, which can be purchased for ten dollars right in the customs control zone. This document will allow tourists to rest in the Dominican Republic for thirty days. In the future, when applying to the migration service of the country, this period can be extended up to three months. The cost of such a service does not exceed twenty dollars.
Dead Sea resorts: holidays for Russians
Israel is a special country that attracts Russians with incredible historical monuments and the opportunity to improve their health. It is worth noting that Russia ranks second in the world in terms of the number of tourists going on vacation to Israel. Our compatriots are only ahead of the inhabitants of the United States, they most often choose the Promised Land as a place of rest.
The rules for entering Israel for Russians are quite simple. They include the following items:
- a passport with a validity period of six months;
- medical insurance;
- tickets and hotel reservations;
- documents confirming solvency.
In the event that all documents are in order, the Russians will receive a free stamp in their passport, allowing them to stay in Israel for ninety days. Keep in mind that the visa-free regime only applies to trips that are not related to making a profit. Otherwise, you will need a visa.
Visa to the Maldives for Russians: is there such a need?
Of course, the Maldives is far from a budget holiday, but it's worth it. The island nation is characterized by incredible natural beauty, and the sea in the Maldives is difficult to describe in words, it is often called the "fantastic world". Our compatriots who prefer a beach holiday with standard entertainment in the form of diving and snorkeling have long appreciated the hospitality of this distant island nation. Millions of tourists from all over the world visit the Maldives every year, and the percentage of Russians among them is steadily increasing.
In order for our compatriot to get to heaven, it is not necessary to receive. Russians can stay in the Maldives for thirty days by purchasing a tourist voucher for ten dollars in the customs control zone. Do not forget that in order to enter the country you will still need medical insurance and a document confirming solvency (at least one hundred dollars should fall per day).
Travel to Morocco without a visa
Morocco is a rather exotic route for our compatriots. But every year the interest in this country increases, especially since it is actively developing in the field of tourism. The beaches of Morocco are located on the shores of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea, they are distinguished by wide strips of white sand, which looks perfectly clean.
It is worth noting that best beaches are located on the Atlantic coast, but the water in the ocean can surprise you with coolness even in forty-degree heat. The shores of the Mediterranean Sea are more hospitable, but the terrain itself is not conducive to rest - there are many cliffs and slopes.
Not needed, our compatriots can rest here for up to three months. Usually, in order to enjoy the sea and local attractions, two weeks are enough for tourists.
Of course, everyone wants to relax by the sea, but not everyone can afford a luxurious hotel and the most expensive restaurants. What to do in this case? Just take your vacation more responsibly and calculate everything in advance, and our tips will help you save a little on your travel budget:
