Comprehensive App for Foreign Entry to Russia
The ruID mobile application serves as an essential tool for foreign citizens and stateless individuals planning to enter or residing in Russia. This free application allows users to submit entry applications, check entry restrictions, and access various government services seamlessly. It is particularly important as new entry regulations require biometric data submission prior to crossing the border. Users can easily fill out an entry application detailing their travel purpose, dates, and accompanying persons, making the process straightforward and efficient.
In addition to application submissions, the ruID app facilitates biometric data collection, including facial and passport photos, and voice recordings for identification purposes. The app generates a unique Digital Profile ID that consolidates user information and provides a personal QR code for easy verification upon border crossing. Integration with the Unified Identification and Authentication System (ESIA) enhances access to government services, including employment and visa processing. With support for multiple languages and notifications on application statuses, the ruID app significantly simplifies the experience for foreign nationals navigating the Russian bureaucracy.
