According to The Russian Prime Minister, Dmitry Medvedev, the current visa policy for Chinese tourists might change. Now the visa regime allows only a tourist group of five or more people to enter the country without visas for up to three weeks. It might change to groups of three or more people for staying in Russia for up to two weeks.

Due to the statistics, over the past few years, the number of Chinese tourists in Russia had increased. During the year of 2016, about 1.2 million Chinese tourists had visited Russia. This number is continuously growing. Let’s not forget about the upcoming football event in 2018. As Russia is preparing to host the FIFA World Cup, the Russian Prime Minister emphasized that Russia is expecting President Xi Jinping to attend it.

Russia appreciates the current relations with China. According to Medvedev, who had recently been on a three-day official visit to China, the relationships between two countries are now at the highest level in their history.
