The Russian government will start a pilot program on December 1st to collect biometric data such as fingerprints and facial images at four airports in Moscow. The Embassy of Japan in Russia has called for attention to this matter.
This measure involves collecting fingerprints and facial images from foreigners, including Japanese nationals, when they enter and leave Moscow through Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky airports. It is scheduled to begin at all airports from June 30, 2025, and is expected to be implemented until June 30, 2026. Children under six years old are exempt.
This could lead to longer processing times during entry and exit.
