After the initial protocol to lift joint visa regulations was signed on May 12th, today, the Re Admission Agreement, considered the final stage in the process, was signed between Turkey and Russia. According to the Russian Embassy, visa regulations should be lifted between the two countries in one to two months' time. Now, not only will businessmen be able to travel freely without the burden of obtaining visas, but the practice is also expected to positively affect tourism between the two nations. Last year alone, three million Russian tourists vacationed in Turkey. In return, almost 100,000 Turks received visa to travel to Russia.
