How much does a COVID-19 test cost at Russian airports
The number of countries you can fly to is gradually increasing, but many require a certificate with a negative PCR test for coronavirus upon boarding. And tests upon arrival from abroad have not been canceled yet. We remind you that all Russian citizens arriving from abroad are required to take a coronavirus test and upload it to Госуслуги within 3 days. We tell you in which Russian city airports you can take a COVID-19 test and how much it costs.
You can currently fly abroad from 11 cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Kazan, Kaliningrad, Novosibirsk, Samara, Vladivostok, Grozny, Krasnoyarsk, and Ufa.
Do not confuse a regular PCR test with an express test. These are different types, and upon arrival, you must upload the result of a regular PCR test to Госуслуги within 72 hours. An express test is not suitable for Роспотребнадзор.
