Why this verdict

Russian citizens are encoded as conditional because the MFA page describes a visa-free route tied to an original invitation letter and listed purposes, not a simple tourist exemption. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: special residence permits, diplomatic/service passports, work, study, airline routing, border checks and transit control can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.

Conditional rules

Original invitation letter held and the visit purpose matches the listed MFA categories Visa-free

Up to 90 days. The MFA page states nationals may enter and reside for up to 90 days without visas with the original invitation letter for listed purposes.
