[edit] Question
"Russian citizens who move abroad and decide to give up their Russian residency must surrender their internal passport to their local Russian consulate." - is this information really correct? - as far as i know, nobody has to surender their internal passport anymore, they are valid until the expiration date (i.e the holder reaches age 20 or 45). I checked purposely the sites of russian embassies and none of them mentions that - all they require is a stamp on the adress page saying the registration as resident in russia is void. Did some of the authors have to surrender their passport themselves, and when? (I didn't undergo the procedure yet, but when i contacted the consulate they didn't say anything about this either). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zhvr (talk • contribs) 00:24, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- I think you are right. You need to submit your internal passport as part of the application to give up residency, but it seems they are supposed to return the passport to you at the end.Tetromino (talk) 00:12, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Since June 2007 holders of Russian diplomatic passports can enter the European Union without visas for 90 days. Do you believe this should be mentioned? Kostiq (talk) 06:01, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- If you have a source for this : Yes ! Passportguy (talk) 11:05, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- There is an agreement [1] between the European Union and Russia. Its article 11 tells that "1. Citizens of the Russian Federation or the Member States, holders of valid diplomatic passports may enter, leave and transit through the territories of the Member States or the Russian Federation without visas." The problem is that when one checks websites of consulates and ministries of foreign affairs, there is no mentioning of this fact. For example, Estonian embassy [2] does not list Russia as a country whose diplomatic passports are accepted for visa-free entry. Kostiq (talk) 15:01, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- It may be that this treaty has not been implemented yet. In that case you'll need to wait until that happens in order to add the info to the page. Passportguy (talk) 15:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- The treaty has been in force and implemented since June 1 2007. I will add those countries on whose websites visa-free entry for Russian diplomatic passport holders is mentioned. Kostiq (talk) 15:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- If the treaty is indeed in force and ratified by all 27 member states, then you can add all of them sice this is a treaty between the EU as a whole and Russia. However do check that the treaty has been ratified by all states. Passportguy (talk) 15:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
