Russia and Venezuela are switching to visa-free 3-month travel beginning from Friday according to an agreement signed in Caracas last November.

“According to the agreement, citizens with valid passports can enter, exit, transit and stay on the territory of corresponding states for 90 days without a visa every half a year since the first entry date,” the Russian foreign ministry said.

It specified that visa-free travel grants no right for commercial activities or labor engagements.
