E-visa extension and validity

:loudspeaker: E-VISA VALIDITY PERIOD WILL BE EXTENDED FROM AUGUST 23

President Vladimir Putin has signed a law extending the unified e-visa validity period to 120 days (from 60) and doubling the permitted stay duration to 30 days (from 16), while maintaining the single-entry rule.

The changes come into force 30 days after publication.

:small_orange_diamond: Other updates: border crossing is now permitted outside official checkpoints with special authorization from border authorities. In other cases, it remains prohibited.

:pushpin: Reminder: the e-visa covers tourist trips, business visits, private travel, and cultural/scientific events across 64 eligible countries.

Hello Irena, with the new validity of 120 days, Is It possibile requesting a visa for example in august for a trip in September and then submitting a second request in october for a trip in novembre? Or i Need to wait for the expiration of the 120 days from the First request? Thanks
