Israel is another country where you can fly without a visa and very cheap, and many people enjoy it! Tickets cost from 11,000 rubles, tours - from 55,000.
India
An electronic visa is issued for a trip to India: it is easy to get it, but it costs $ 100. But Goa is one of the most inexpensive seaside holiday destinations. Tours cost from 50 thousand, last minute ones are cheaper. Tickets to Delhi cost from 20 thousand.
Kenya
If you are in the mood for real black Africa, go to Kenya or Tanzania! Alas, these countries are not included in the list of visa-free travel for Russians, and tickets are not cheap - from 32,000 rubles. But everything is learned by comparison. It is difficult to obtain visas to almost all other African countries, and flights there are even more expensive. It is easier to travel to Kenya and Tanzania: visas are issued using a simplified system, there are more flights, and security is higher.
Cyprus
Another popular destination recreation. An e-visa is easily done online, the prices at the resorts are European, but not prohibitively high. Tickets to Larnaca cost from 6,000 rubles, to Paphos - from 15,000 rubles. You can buy a tour to Cyprus from 50 thousand rubles.
Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt
Russians can fly to Morocco and Tunisia without a visa; in Egypt, a visa is issued upon arrival. Rest in all countries is inexpensive. Tickets from Moscow to Morocco cost from 10-15 thousand, to Egypt and Tunisia - the same.

Turkey
Where can you go inexpensively and without a visa, if not to Turkey? These two criteria made the country so popular for Russians: visa-free entry and cheap vacation... You can fly to Istanbul for 8,000 rubles, to Antalya - for 10,000. Tours are very cheap: even 20 thousand rubles is not the limit, there are vouchers for 15 and even 10 thousand for two. All-inclusive vacation costs from 35 thousand rubles.
Philippines
A flight to the Philippines cannot be called inexpensive - tickets usually cost from 35-40 thousand rubles. However, sometimes you can fly to this visa-free country for Russians cheaper - sometimes there are tickets for 27-30 thousand.
Montenegro
Tickets to Tivat can be found from 10 thousand rubles, to Podgorica - from 13 thousand. Tours cost from 40 thousand.
South America and the Caribbean
An unfortunate paradox and injustice - the list of visa-free countries for Russians includes almost all states of South America and the Caribbean, but it is very expensive to fly there. Only big sales (for example, Allitalia) or erroneous rates save. Usually tickets to the countries of Latin America cost from 40-50 thousand rubles.
South Korea
One of the few developed countries on the list of visa-free travel for Russians. It's worth using! The cheapest flight to Seoul is from Vladivostok and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk - tickets for direct flights of S7 airlines can cost only 14,000 rubles. Flights from Moscow and St. Petersburg cost from 30 thousand rubles.
We have considered all the countries where Russians can travel in 2020 without a visa and at the same time inexpensively. All other countries either require pre-issued visas (through the consulate and visa centers) or are not destinations where you can fly cheap.

However, a number of European countries are not members of the EU. Many of them have a visa-free regime with the Russian Federation. In 2020, Russians will not need to pre-issue an entry permit to these countries.
List of republics for visa-free travel in Europe:
- Abkhazia (90 days);
- Bosnia and Herzegovina (30);
- Macedonia (30);
- Moldova (90);
- Transnistria (180);
- Republic of Belarus (90);
- Serbia (30);
- Turkey (60);
- Ukraine (90);
- Montenegro (30).
All these countries are not part of the European Union. Although Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkey, Macedonia and Serbia are considered potential candidates for membership. Today, active negotiations are underway regarding their entry into the EU. But until these countries become members of the European Union, Russians can freely enter these republics.
Visa-free countries for Russians on the world map
Visa to enter the territory of Ukraine
For Russians, border crossing rules have been simplified. They are stamped on the crossing in the foreign passport at customs control points. A prerequisite for crossing the border is filling out a migration card.

The conditions of entry to Ukraine for Russians in 2014 were tightened against the background of the armed conflict in Donbass and the annexation of Crimea. Now entry is impossible from the Crimea, as well as from the Lugansk and Donetsk Republics. Those Russians who violate this rule are subsequently not allowed to enter Ukraine.
Entry to Moldova

Crossing the border is carried out only with a foreign passport. The allowed period of stay on the territory of Moldova without permission for Russians is 3 months.

Russian citizens can stay in the country without a visa for no more than 90 days. But if a citizen of the Russian Federation intends to stay in Belarus for more than one month, he must register at the place of residence. Otherwise, a fine will be imposed on the Russian when leaving the country.
Entry to Abkhazia
To travel to Abkhazia in 2020, Russians will need a foreign or regular passport. A prerequisite for this is life insurance for a Russian in the amount of more than 30 thousand rubles. The insurance covers the tourist's accommodation on the territory of Abkhazia at the rate of 1,000 rubles per day.
That is, the amount of insurance must be equal to the estimated length of stay in Abkhazia. Children under 6 years of age are exempt from insurance. Persons who work in Abkhazia for more than 6 months are also exempted from insurance.
Persons who have visited Abkhazia subsequently cannot obtain a visa to travel to Georgia.
Entry into Serbia
