📋 Tender Overview
The Republic Of Estonia Will Stop Recognizing The Non -Biometric Passports Of The Russian Federation. The Owners Of The Residence Permit In Estonia And Other European Union Countries Who Are Currently Using A Non -Biometric Outdoor Passport In Russia Have Time Until September 30, 2025 To Apply For A Biometric Passport. Russia Issues Biometric And Non -Biometric External Passes.
Non -Biometric Foreign Passes Issued In Russia Do Not Meet The Recommendations Of The International Civil Aviation Organization (Icao) And Are Accompanied By Various Security Risks. Non -Biometric External Passes Do Not Contain An Electronic Media, So It Is Not Possible To Compare The Personal Data Of The Passport Owner With The Data Entered On The Chip.
Unlike The Russian Biometric Passport, The Institution That Has Issued A Non -Biometric Passport Cannot Be So Easily Identified, Which Makes It Harder To Identify Documents (Ie Issued In The Occupied Areas) Documents. Russian Passports (Including Biometric) In Non -Recognized Regions Are Not Accepted As A Valid Travel Document. As Of March 20, 2025, The Denmark And The Czech Republic Are Not Yet Recognized Or Recognized By Russia.
