About this document

The text of a Russian bill in its third reading - amendments to the federal law on the procedure for exiting and entering the Russian Federation. It introduces new articles on the grounds and procedure for declaring a foreign-travel passport invalid: about fifteen grounds are listed, including loss, name change, expiry, discovery of false data and failure to collect a ready passport within three years. It also sets deadlines for issuing a new passport depending on where the application is filed, the procedure for surrendering a passport when exit is restricted, and travel rules for minors. For Russians living in Italy this matters: an invalid passport means problems with permit renewal and any other procedure. The rules may have been amended - check the current version of the law.
