An agreement signed between the Maldives and Russia to allow visa-free travel for up to 90 days came into force on Thursday.
Maldivians travelling to Russia will be allowed to enter, stay in and transit through Russia without obtaining a visa.
“This applies for all Maldivian nationals holding valid travel documents and not intending to work, study or reside in the territory of the Russian Federation,” the Maldives foreign ministry explained.
“It is important that all travellers ensure that they have with them confirmed hotel bookings, return tickets and adequate funds while travelling to Russia.”
