Russian Visa Wiki

What entry route applies to holders of an ordinary passport issued by China?

Short answer

Chinese ordinary-passport holders may enter Russia without a visa for up to 30 days through 31 December 2027.

Verified answer

The current KD MID entry conditions publish this visa-free route through 31 December 2027. Chinese ordinary-passport holders are also listed for the unified eVisa, which is a separate alternative route with its own purposes, application window, validity, stay and entry conditions.

This answer is linked to the immutable China entry Rule Version in Ruleset v11 and its current official Russian MFA Consular Department evidence.

What to do next

Use the traveler checker with China as nationality and provide purpose, dates, residence and entries. Compare the 30-day visa-free route with the separate unified-eVisa route and use the one whose official conditions fit the trip.
