peninsula of Crimea, we still can not associate with other countries.However, one should admit that it is a part of a foreign power.Therefore, crossing the hamlet St. Michael's on the train or the Kerch Strait on the ferry, and another checkpoint on the Ukrainian border with Russia or Belarus should remember that you are leaving the country of his nationality and enter another sovereign state.Therefore, in your way will inevitably meet border guards.In this case, you need a passport in the Crimea?
In 1992, Ukraine signed with Belarus, and in 1997 and the bilateral agreements of the Russian Federation, according to which the citizens of these three countries may, without any visa and passport even to visit these countries and live there for 90 days.So do not believe the idle speculation of well-wishers, supposedly the Crimea need a passport.If you do not, you can easily go on a sunny peninsula with conventional internal document.
However, it is still different country, but border guards (both Russian and Ukrainian) - very picky people.It is at home, you can live with an expired passport.Read carefully the last page of your "internal sample document confirming citizenship."It says that in the Russian passport to me when its holder turns 20 and 45 years old.If you have not attended to the timely replacement of booklets with a purple cover, you face a minimum fine and a maximum - removal from the train.So if you have an internal document has expired, but there is the appearance, the question "Do I need a passport to the Crimea?" Answer "Yes!".So what possible options.
Where border guards will put their stamps?Well, the Russian guards cordons you will not be stamped.But at the entrance to Ukraine train conductor, a flight attendant on the plane or CAT junior rank of border guard will give you a form of migration cards.It consists of two identical halves.They need to be carefully filled.No issues with the hitch will not be there, all very standard: name, date and place of birth, etc.One half of the blank separates the border guard and reserves at home, and the other gives you.This unpresentable piece of paper should be stored as the apple of his eye.For its loss you face a rather big fine.You could answer the question of whether the need to Crimea passport: No, because it replaces (at the time of stay in the country) migration card.
now consider the problem of trafficking in minors of the Russian Federation.It has its own problems.Not reached two years pipsqueak can leave only when accompanied by their parents (if one of them, then you need notarized consent of the other).From 3 to 14, and the child can go to a third party (grandmother / grandfather, counselor of children's group).On departure from the Russian Federation, as well as at the entrance to Ukraine, it is necessary to present the original birth certificate with a liner confirming Russian citizenship.With 14 years of a child is entitled to travel on their own (having the consent of the parents).Do I need a passport to the Crimea this young traveler?No.But all the same the birth certificate with a liner.
this year between the Kremlin and the government of Ukraine ran like a black cat.That candy "Evening Kiev" were harmful, the eggs, the bacon ... not the answer whether Ukraine to the chief doctor of Russia lunges for its sanctions?It may already have been happy times, and in the Crimea need a passport?2013, however, has not made adjustments to the existing agreement on visa-free visit.
