Estonian citizens who are temporarily staying in Russia are advised to consider the need to remain in Russia and return to Estonia if possible. We urge Estonian citizens temporarily in Russia to register their stay on the Foreign Ministry’s website.
Dual citizens of Estonia and Russia are considered Russian nationals by the Russian Federation and Estonia’s options for providing consular services are limited, including on mobilisation issues.
There have been cases on border crossing where the Russian border guards check the personal electronic devices of border crossers and their content, including their social media posts.
Please note that consular assistance is only available in the Estonian embassy in Moscow, and for example, if you lose your passport, you must go there in person to get a temporary replacement document that allows you to leave the country.
More detailed travel information regarding Russia is available on the Foreign Ministry’s website.
