Crimea is to simplify visa-getting procedures for foreign tourists


04.06.2018


Crimean authorities are ready to simplify the visa-getting regime for tourists from abroad, according to RIA Novosti. According to the Crimean Republic’s Parliament’s member Alexey Chernyak, mobile entrance centers for foreigners are to be set up, in order to get a visa by following a simplified procedure. He has explained that tourists are offered single-entry visas, which could be obtained right at the state border-crossing checkpoint. Such visas would be valid up to one month.

Parliament member has cleared out that the mobile centers are to be unwrapped as soon as there is information on arrival of a group of foreign tourists by plane, by steamboat or by car. He has assured that the whole process would not take more that several hours.

Alexey Chernyak has stated that unfortunately, it is rather hard for foreign guests to visit Crimea due to sanctions, absence of direct flights and complications arranged by the Ukrainian authorities.

Appearance of such centers means that foreign touristic companies would save some money on visas, but it leads to imposing sanctions on them in their countries. Deputy is sure that these are temporary complications.
