An expert involved in individual tours to exotic destinations shared his observations with the editorial staff. TourDom.ru – among the tourists who apply to him, the proportion of those who have a passport from another country has increased. This allows you to take advantage of another jurisdiction – to build an easier route bypassing restrictions for Russians.:
"These are Caribbean passports from the countries of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, or documents from some African countries. Yes, and European and the USA, of course. All of them simplify both trips to Europe and flights through it and Australia to Oceania or South America," he told the journalist. TourDom.ru The head of the Geography project is Nikolai Balandinsky.
It is indeed possible to find intermediary channels on the Internet, the authors of which describe a similar trend. However, experts from other tour operator companies do not confirm it. They say there will be changes after 2022, of course, but nevertheless there is no talk of any large-scale process.
"The share of tourists with second passports is, of course, increasing due to all the political circumstances. But still, it is very small. To a greater extent, this is used to obtain Schengen and American visas," explains Dmitry Arutyunov, CEO of the ART–TOUR tour operator.
Judging by the reports from the channels dedicated to paperwork, those who do decide to use such a service to facilitate travel around the world should be wary of scammers - intermediaries who can cheat have become more active. For example, dozens, if not hundreds, of people have recently lost money because of those who promised them to issue a Bulgarian passport.
