I am a Pole, I have a passport and I live in Russia. I have a residence permit in the Russian Federation until 2017. I'm going to go to Abkhazia. What documents do I need when crossing the border?

Responds information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
Foreign citizens who have obtained a residence permit in the Russian Federation enter the Russian Federation and leave the Russian Federation on the basis of valid documents proving their identity and recognized by the Russian Federation in this capacity, and a residence permit (Article 24 of the Federal Law "On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation" Federation and entrance to the Russian Federation ").

To obtain permission to enter the territory of the Republic of Abkhazia, a foreign citizen must send a copy of the passport (valid not less than 6 months before the planned entry into Abkhazia) and filled in electronic form. All the points of the questionnaire must be completed without exception. In case of lack of necessary information, the questionnaire may not be accepted for consideration.

It takes 5 working days for the request to be processed by the Consular Service. You can also ask questions by telephone to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia: + 7-840-226-39-48.
