Russia may introduce invitation requirement for CIS visitors

An invitation requirement may be introduced in Russia for CIS nationals in order to regulate migration, Interfax news agency quoted head of the Federal Migration Service, Konstantin Romodanovsky, as saying.

"The current visa regime is no longer relevant," Romodanovsky told reporters, when asked whether it is necessary to introduce a visa regime with CIS countries.

"An invitation policy may be considered for countries that send large amount of migrants to Russia, but more work needs to be done on the matter, as it is not a simple one," Romodanovskiy said.
