Below is the necessary information from official sources of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation for travelers in Russia and abroad:

1. Before leaving, carefully check the correctness of the entry of all basic information: F.I.O., date of birth, gender, validity of the passport, especially if it is new. According to the legislation of a number of states, this period must end no earlier than six months after entering the country. If children are inscribed in the general civil foreign passport, it is necessary to check the accuracy of the information about them and the presence of photos (for those who are older than six years). The document must not have damage, stains and foreign records. While abroad, keep it with you, do not give it to anyone for safekeeping or as collateral.

2. If a visa is required to enter the country, it must be issued in advance. If your destination is transiting through the territory of other countries, you should consult in advance with the travel agency or consular offices of the countries you intend to visit by transit regarding the need to issue transit visas, as well as their validity, taking into account the date of return.

3. Travel documents for all modes of transport must be issued in the same name, which is indicated in the passport. Make sure that the itinerary and dates of entry and exit fully correspond to what is recorded on the tickets. It is recommended to make a photocopy of tickets, passport pages (both foreign and domestic) with biographical data, visas, registration stamp, driver's license, credit cards, tour, invitations. Be sure to bring backup passport photos, including for children. They will be useful in the event of loss of MRI, as well as in other situations that may arise in the host country. Copies should be kept separate from the originals.

4. When concluding a contract with a travel agency, it is recommended to find out from its employees all the nuances of staying in the country. Write down the phone numbers and address of the representative office of the travel agency in this state.

5. Russian citizens arriving abroad for more than three months, in some countries it is necessary to register with the registration office of foreigners (for example, in India).
When planning a trip, it should be borne in mind that in a number of countries there are areas in which entry for foreigners is restricted or prohibited. Therefore, it is useful to discuss in detail with the travel company, the intended places of visit.

In a hot climate and the presence of dangerous infectious diseases (hepatitis, cholera, smallpox, malaria, plague, typhoid fever, etc.), sanitary and hygienic precautions must be observed in a number of Asian, African and Latin American countries. It is strongly recommended to wash fruits and vegetables with antiseptic soap, drink water, milk and juice only from factory-clogged bottles.
It should be borne in mind that in many Muslim countries the norms of behavior are determined by Sharia law, which strictly regulate the relationship between men and women, prohibit the use of alcohol, etc. Clothing for the trip should also be selected in accordance with the rules adopted in the state. If there are strong Islamic traditions, you will have to bring a strict wardrobe. In many countries of the East, women are generally forbidden to appear in open clothes. In Iran, for example, they must wear headscarves in public.
It is worth bearing in mind that in a number of European countries, as well as in the United States, laws have been passed prohibiting smoking in public places, restaurants and bars. And in some parts of the world, for example, in Singapore, a considerable fine is charged for throwing any garbage in places not intended for this.
Inform relatives, friends about your trip, place of stay, leave contact numbers. Record the telephone numbers of the Embassy and the nearest consular office of the Russian Federation in the country of your upcoming stay.

At the airport:
Do not forget to fill out the customs declaration (if necessary). Keep tickets for checked luggage, which will be required in case of loss. If there are problems, we recommend contacting a representative of a travel agency or an airport employee. Air ticket, passport, money and other valuable things are always best kept with you. In addition, it should be borne in mind that due to the tightening of safety requirements on air transport, hand luggage is not allowed to carry any stabbing or cutting objects, as well as children's toys or other items similar in shape to weapons.

At the hotel:
Upon arrival at the hotel, special attention should be paid to the rules of accommodation and fire safety. Study the location of entrances and exits, elevators, stairs. It is not recommended to leave documents, money and valuables in the room - it is safer to store them in a safe. It is advisable to bring a business card of the hotel and find out how to contact the competent authorities in case of unforeseen situations.

Behavior in public places:
In major tourist centers, take precautions and keep an eye on personal belongings. Put the money in different pockets. In case of theft of documents, tickets, credit cards, it is necessary to make a statement to the police, then to the embassy or consular office of the Russian Federation. Inform the accompanying group (if any) about the need to restore the ticket, block the bank card.

Road trips:
If you rent a car, carefully check the registration of all documents, especially insurance, so that in the event of an accident, you do not incur large costs for damages and do not undergo legal proceedings. When crossing the border, one should refrain from fulfilling requests of random people to carry other people’s belongings through checkpoints under the pretext, for example, baggage overweight, and also not to accept, including for remuneration, items (letters, parcels, luggage, etc.) for transfer from unfamiliar persons that can be used as caches for illegal transportation of narcotic drugs, explosive devices, poisonous substances and pathogens of dangerous diseases.

How to behave in unforeseen situations:
In case of unforeseen circumstances (detention by local law enforcement agencies, threats from other persons, road accidents, etc.), it is necessary to immediately report this to the Embassy or consular office of the Russian Federation. It is not necessary to explain with representatives of local law enforcement agencies, as well as to sign any protocols and other documents in a foreign language in the absence of employees of the consular post of the Russian Federation, since such testimony under the legislation of a number of countries can be used as a basis for an accusation of a crime.

Behavior during earthquakes and natural disasters:
The most dangerous places on the planet are in the area of the so-called world earthquake belts. These are the Pacific coast of the Americas, the east coast of Japan, the central Pacific, the southern edge of the Himalayas, the Karaib region, New Zealand, Greece, Turkey, Italy, the Mediterranean and the Central Atlantic.
Most earthquake accidents are the result of collapse of buildings and other facilities. Seismic activity can cause landslides and giant ocean tsunami waves that can cause enormous damage. Be sure to turn on the radio to get information about the scale of the disaster, measures taken to eliminate its consequences.

So, being abroad, it is necessary to exercise elementary vigilance, reasonable caution and adjust your behavior in accordance with the surrounding situation. If you find yourself in a difficult situation, if possible, immediately inform the Embassy or Consulate of the Russian Federation about yourself, your relatives, acquaintances.
