Starting January 9, the fee for a single-entry visa for Lithuanian citizens who decide to come to Russia will rise from 20 to 42 dollars. The new tariff is being introduced on the principle of reciprocity. In addition, from now on, Lithuanians will need to take out a medical insurance policy to travel to the Russian Federation. The visa will be issued for a period not exceeding the validity period of the policy. The new requirements do not apply to Lithuanians who spend a total of more than 183 days a year in Russia, those working in the Russian Federation under employment contracts, and diplomats in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
