UK resumes work of its visa centers in Russia

Starting June 29, the UK Visa and Immigration Services (UKVI) begin a phased exit from the pandemic-restricted regime. The resumption of the provision of services to citizens will begin simultaneously in Moscow, Rostov-on-Don, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk.

It was planned that initially the UK Visa and Immigration Services activity will be restored partially.

Since March 2020, due to the spread of coronavirus infection, all centers of the UK Visa and Immigration Service in the Russian Federation have been closed until further notice.

Earlier it became known that the Federal Air Transport Agency intends to offer a proposal to Rospotrebnadzor (Federal Service on Surveillance for Consumer rights protection and human well-being) to open an international air service.

At the first stage, a partial opening is planned from July 15. Since this date, the Federal Air Transport Agency expects to receive permission to fly to 15 countries. Judging by the information received from the RBC information source, we are talking about air links with Europe, Turkey, South Korea and China. Russian airlines with the largest Western air carriers are already preparing a plan to implement new sanitary requirements for organizing international flights.
