Must my insurer be Russian?
Not necessarily — foreign insurers may be accepted if assistance and payment arrangements meet consular requirements; check your consulate and the policy terms.
Not necessarily — some entry rules accept foreign insurers if they provide the required assistance and payment arrangements. Rules can vary by nationality, so certain citizens may face special conditions about insurer nationality or local representation. Confirm with the consulate whether a Russian insurer is mandatory for your case and check the policy for assistance provision, claims handling and local payment guarantees. Distinguish official entry rules from the commercial policy you’re buying and from this website’s DEMO product, which is illustrative only.
