The Litha and Latvia governments have stopped recognizing the passport year of the Russian citizens. This was reported by the press service of the Consular Ministry of the Russian Foreign Ministry in the Telegram channel.

According to reports of Denmark, France, Czech Republic and Estonia, the decision not to recognize the 5 -year -old non -passport of Russia has passed the Lithium and Latvia governments, the report said.
According to journalism services, entering Lithuania and Latvia will only be done on a 10 -year passport. Requirements do not affect the Russian transit trips along the border of Lithuania to the Kaliningrad area and return by rail.
For citizens of the Russian Federation, people with temporary residence permits in Lithium, on December 1 this year, a 10 -year passport must be granted.
Russian citizens, a temporary residence and permanent residence permit in Lithium, must grant a 10 -year biometric passport until December 1, 2025.
In Latvia, similar limitations will start operating on July 15, and for Russians with a residence permit in the country, the six -month transition time is established (until January 15, 2026), which requires a passport for 10 years.
In addition, the Consulate called on the Russians to withdraw passports for 10 years in a timely manner, as many European countries gradually refuse to accept documents with a five -year term.
