Russia Abolishes Visa Regime and Lifts Ban on Airline Flights with Georgia Starting May 15
The decree #335 signed today by Russian President Vladimir Putin, states that from May 15, 2023 citizens of Georgia will be able to enter and leave Russia without a visa for up to 90 days on the basis of valid identity documents, including for educational purposes, the document says.
In addition, the ban on Russian airline flights to Georgia will be also lifted from May 15, 2023. The relevant decree was signed today by President Vladimir Putin. The direct air links between Russia and Georgia were cut off in July 2019, a decision taken unilaterally by Moscow following the anti-Russian protests in Tbilisi.
After the publication of the decrees, the Foreign Ministry of Russia said it was cancelling the recommendation for Russians to refrain from travelling to Georgia.
