About 10 thousand tourists issued an electronic visa to Kaliningrad in July

It is reported by New Kaliningrad.

“About 10 thousand people received electronic visas, they entered less, of course, but, of course, they do not always enter the moment they get a visa. I expected that it would be 10-12 thousand before the end of the year. It turned out that we have a little more than a month and already 10 thousand. The forecast is good until the end of the year, ”he said.

Ermak also said that it was the tourists who used the electronic visa, since they had a chance to visit the Kaliningrad region and Russia for free.

In May, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev approved the procedure for issuing electronic visas for foreigners to enter the Kaliningrad Region from July 1, 2019.
