yes!!!
Thanks Tony.
I understand what you are saying. I did not realise that the visa did not identify the city, even though I,ve been to Russia before. You would think the agencies would advise better. Great site this. I,ll keep you posted over the next few weeks. All the best John |
I think the visa application still ask you to list which cities you'll be visiting; if so, you should probably list several cities just in case, such as Moscow and maybe Sochi, which is near the Georgian border.
As Tony says, I don't think it matters, but I also don't think it would hurt to list several cities on your visa applications, as long as you mention normal tourist destinations and not somewhere "strange" like Kazbegi. |
Border Crossing Point GEO -RUS at Verkhniy Lars is open for non-CSI citizens too; I crossed it this morning with a valid russian visa. No more then 30' to wait.
Beside 20 km. from Gadauri (GEO) to north, the road is good. |
Border from Georgia to Russia
Good afternoon
I'm a new subscribed so I'm not sure this is the right thread for my questions! Mid June (2023) I will be traveling by our 4x4 with 2 friends from Greece, Turkey, Georgia, Russia Kazakistan to Pamir. As we find out that Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan visas are more than a big question mark, we are seriously considering the possibility to pass the Caspian Sea through Russia from Georgia. There is by any chance someone who knows if it is possible and safe to enter Russia from Georgia by car? There are approximately 700Km to get to the Kazak border. Thank you in advance for eventual news about it Teo |

Russia is safe - even the North Caucasus republics are calm these days compared to 10-20 years ago. Also very interesting places to visit - the highlands of Dagestan are one of the top attractions in Russia in my opinion. If you just want to take a straight route then Kalmykia is also interesting, just beware that the seemingly direct route from Artezian to Lagan is, I believe, still a restricted zone - it was when I passed through in 2010.

You didn't mention what your nationality is. I suggest you check with the External Affairs section of the government of your country of nationality to find out what advice (if any) they give to their citizens about entering Russia at present. By way of example, the Canadian government (I'm a Canadian) is presently advising Canadian citizens to avoid all travel to Russia, and to get out of Russia now if Canadians happen to be there at present. This is due to the political considerations associated with the current conflict between Ukraine & Russia (or, to describe it more realistically, the current conflict between Russia and most of the rest of the world).
