Which countries have restricted entry for Russians?
The European Commission has released a statement clarifying the legislation on sanctions against russia. Particular attention was paid to the importation of vehicles registered in the russian federation into the territory of the European Union, as well as a possible ban on the importation of personal belongings. This indicates that it is becoming increasingly difficult for russians to visit the EU.
After the termination of the agreement on a simplified visa regime between russia and the European Union, it became more difficult for russians to enter the EU. The visa fee increased from 35 to 80 euros, and additional documents were required for entry, which increased the time it took to process visas. Some countries have stopped accepting russian documents for tourist visas altogether. These include Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland have the most severe restrictions on the entry of russians. russians cannot enter these countries by air or through seaports, even if they have a Schengen visa. This makes it much more difficult to travel to these countries.
In addition to Europe, dissatisfaction with russian tourists is observed in Thailand and Bali, where cases of arrests and deportations of russians have become more frequent. Such measures demonstrate the growing international pressure on Russia and the unwillingness to accept its citizens in many countries.

Norway
Norway, this northern land, can impress even the most demanding tourists with its natural beauty, outshining popular tropical resorts. The country is known for its stunning fjords, amazing glaciers, endless forests, and tumultuous waterfalls. In addition to the unsurpassed natural landscapes, Norway also fascinates with its Viking heritage, distinctive modernity, exciting fishing and interesting sights of large cities. The delicious local cuisine, including whale meat, venison, salmon and juniper sauces, adds even more to the country's appeal.
Summer is the best time to travel to Norway, thanks to comfortable temperatures and long days of light. The further north you go, the longer the sun shines. For example, in Svalbard, from April 20 to August 22, the sun does not set at all. However, this period also sees the highest prices of the year and crowds of tourists. In summer, it's ideal to explore glaciers, admire fjords, visit waterfalls, or go hiking.
Norway offers a variety of outdoor activities: hiking, cycling, horseback riding, rafting, and various excursions. A stay at a spa hotel on the fjord coast will ensure complete relaxation. Traveling to charming Norwegian cities such as Oslo, Bergen, Aalesund, and Trondheim allows you to immerse yourself in the history of each of them and enjoy their unique atmosphere.
Swimming in the summer on the fjords, rivers and lakes is also a popular pastime as the water warms up to 22 degrees. The Lofoten Islands with their white sandy beaches and VIP hotels offer an unforgettable vacation.
