The agreement between the Russian and Turkish governments on terms of mutual travels, signed in Ankara on 12 May 2010, will come into force on 16 April, according to the news service for the Russian Foreign Ministry.

In line with the agreement, Russian and Turkish citizens, who have valid civil, official (special) passports enter, leave, transit and stay in the territory of another state without visa within 30 days from the date of entry (holders of diplomatic passports need no visa in line with the Russian-Turkish intergovernmental agreement on visa-free travels by diplomatic passports, dated 5 November 1999). At the same time, the period of staying in the territory of another state must not be more than 90 days within each period of 180 days.

While entering the other country for working or studying or different purposes, which would take more than 30 days, the citizens of both countries will have to obtain visas, issued in line with the legislation of the state of entry, along with valid documents.
