The new agreements for relieved visa regime and readmission between EU and Russia entered into force yesterday. The agreements make traveling easier for a number of categories of people, traveling for cultural and educational purposes, businessmen, journalists, sportsmen, etc., the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) reported.

A unified visa price of 35 euro for ordinary visa and 70 euro for express visa is introduced. Bulgaria has decided not to increase the price of visas for the organized Russian tourists this year and to keep it at its current level of 20 euro.

There is only one change – previously children up to 14 years of age were issued visas free of charge, but from now on this preference will only be valid for kids up to 6 years of age.
