New PCR-test rule for foreign passengers arriving to Russia
From 8 December 2021 the PCR-test validity period for foreign nationals arriving to the Russian Federation has been changed.
The PCR-test should be made not earlier than two days (or 48 hours) before arrival to Russia (previously it was three days).
The same rule applies to foreign nationals transiting the Russian Federation towards third countries.
Please note if the PCR-test is made beyond this time limit, the airline has the right to deny check-in and boarding the plane to Russia.
