Essential Tool for Foreign Entry into Russia
The ruID mobile application is a vital resource for foreign citizens and stateless individuals entering or residing in Russia. This free app facilitates the submission of entry applications, checking of entry restrictions, and access to various government services efficiently. With the introduction of new regulations, users must submit biometric data before entering the country. The app allows users to fill out their entry applications, detailing travel purposes, dates, and accompanying persons, thereby streamlining the entry process significantly.
In addition to application submissions, the ruID app supports biometric data collection, capturing facial photos, passport images, and voice recordings for secure identification. It generates a unique Digital Profile ID that consolidates user data and provides a personal QR code for verification at border crossings. The integration with the Unified Identification and Authentication System (ESIA) enhances access to essential government services, including employment and visa processing. With multilingual support and real-time notifications on application statuses, the ruID app greatly simplifies the navigation of Russian bureaucracy for foreign nationals.
