Russia

Anti-Government protests have occurred in 2021, with thousands of participants arrested. Unsanctioned protests are illegal and you can be arrested if you participate. Avoid rallies, demonstrations and other large public gatherings as they can turn violent. Flights between Russia and the UK are suspended until at least 16 February 2021. If you're arriving in Russia, including transiting, you're required to provide a negative COVID-19 (PCR) test result dated within 72 hours of your travel. If you're travelling for work purposes, you may be required to self-isolate for 14 days on arrival. Follow the advice of local authorities.

We advise:

Do not travel to Russia.
