How this tool works

We read the official notice for each pair and record the date. Nothing here is generated; a pair with no written check is not shown.

Visa required. Irish passport holders need a visa to enter Russia.

Irish citizens require a visa to enter Russia. Check the visa's validity and expiry date carefully, which may differ from the travel dates in the application. Complete a migration card on arrival and keep your portion for the duration of your stay. Register if staying more than 7 days; the hotel should arrange this, or a private property owner must register you.
