Russia
We've reviewed our advice for Russia. Do not travel to Russia due to the security environment and the impacts of the military conflict with Ukraine. There are limited transportation options, restrictions on financial transactions and possible shortages of essential products and services.
The security situation could deteriorate further with little warning. Security incidents often occur in the regions of Russia bordering Ukraine, including explosions and large fires. Do not attempt to travel to the Russia-Ukraine border or cross into Ukraine from Russia. Laws have been passed that severely inhibit free speech related to the military conflict with Ukraine and Russian military forces. Avoid any protests or demonstrations and avoid commenting publicly on political developments. Russian authorities may adopt a more negative attitude towards foreigners in Russia and enforce local laws in an arbitrary manner.
If you’re in Russia, leave immediately using the limited commercial options available or private means if it’s safe to do so. Review your personal security plans and carefully consider the safest means and route to depart. You’re responsible for your own safety and that of your family. Make sure your travel documents are up to date. If despite our advice, you decide to enter Russia, expect thorough security checks at the border, including questioning and inspections of electronic devices. Russia has removed COVID-19 entry restrictions.
Our ability to provide consular assistance in Russia is limited. The Australian Government will not be able to evacuate you from Russia. If you have significant concerns for your welfare, or that of another Australian, contact the Consular Emergency Centre on 1300 555 135 in Australia or +61 2 6261 3305 outside Australia. If you’re in Russia, register with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's registration portal for Australian citizens in Russia – see the 'Safety' section for details on how to register.
