08:07, 27 июля 2012

Foreign tourists will be able to stay in Russia for three days without the visa if they travel with cultural purposes. At the moment, the Culture Ministry drafts such a law, reported the Vice Prime Minister for social issues Olga Golodets to journalists on Friday evening. “We want to implement the program on inbound tourist flow growth first of all including our pupils and children across Russia and to introduce a three-days visa-free inbound tourism for foreign citizens”, - she said.

 

The Vice prime minister is sure that a three-days-visit visa free regime could be used while there’s a special cultural event in Russia, for example, Opera week or Ballet week. “So that the guests could visit The Mariinsky theater and the Bolshoi theater or the Perm theatre”, - noted Mrs. Golodets. According to her, a similar practice exists in many countries. Besides, such practice is available for water transport passengers, for example, cruise liners in St. Petersburg and the Russian Far East, reports RIA News.

 

Olga Golodets stressed that the program is worked out in the Culture Ministry of Russia, and allegedly in October the bill will be introduced to State Duma.
