Hello everyone, I was trying to search for an answer to my question all over the Internet, but couldn't find anything. I have a Croatian passport, but I live in Germany (was born there and have a permanent allowance to stay in the country in my passport). I have been studying in the U.S. though for years now and met my Russian girlfriend there. I would like to plan a trip to Russia for this upcoming summer so I can meet her family, but I don't know if I need a visa or not and what kind of regulations would apply to my specific situation. I would appreciate it very much if somebody in this forum would be able to help me out. Thank you

The only exceptions are citizens from the former USSR republics of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldavia, Tajikistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. It seems that there is an agreement with Israel for visa-free travel in the future.

It would be great to know where I would be able to find that information.

Citizens of Croatia (3 months, invitation required), Cuba (30 days), and Thailand (30 days) do not need a visa.
