When entering Egypt, a stamp worth $25 is pasted into the passport. A Chinese visa on arrival is placed in the passport of Russian citizens flying in direct flights to the cities of Sanya and Haikou (Hainan Island), etc.

I’ll make a reservation right away: the phrase “Where to go on vacation abroad” implies that the rest should be rich and varied. Otherwise, it's better to buy a box of vodka and drill into the country: it will be cheaper, but the effect is the same.

So, we have considered the point "Nowhere". And now - about where to go on vacation abroad in 2019.


Many now, due to the economic crisis, the fall of the ruble and the growth of the dollar, refuse to travel abroad. Some people do this because they can't really afford a holiday abroad in 2019. But many refuse to travel only because they do not know where to go on vacation abroad on a budget. But there are many such places! And in this article we will consider three of them - the cheapest, in my opinion (we do not take Belarus into account).

Since we are talking about 2019, when we will consider only those cities and countries where you can travel inexpensively. I present to you three places where to go on vacation abroad in 2019 and not go broke.

Where to go cheap abroad in 2019? In this photo - one of the options described below.

Option 1: Thailand, Pattaya

One of the advantages of Pattaya is the low prices for food, transport, souvenirs, etc. You can see this by reading the article. Another difference between Pattaya is that from many regions of Russia it is often cheaper to fly here on your own than as part of a package tour.

And to the question “Where to go on vacation from Pattaya”, the answer is unequivocal - to the island of Koh Lan! In the photo - one of the best beaches on the island, Tien Beach.

Here is what a cursory search on booking systems showed:

Where to go on vacation abroad? Option 2: Laos, Vang Vieng

You may not have heard that in this incomprehensible country you can relax in a civilized way. But for me, the answer to the question “where to go on vacation abroad at the current ruble exchange rate” is unequivocal: to Laos! And it’s not only about the exchange rate, it’s not for nothing that this country has long been chosen by tourists from Europe, America and South Korea. Yes, Laos has two serious disadvantages:

1. The absence of the sea.
2. It's hard to get there directly.

But this country also has two main advantages:

1. Very beautiful nature.
2. Very low prices.

But if you want to see this beautiful nature, you don’t have to go to the capital of the country, Vientiane -. Go to the village of Vang Vieng, which is two hundred kilometers from the capital. And you can do this without stopping by Vientiane. You can get to Vang Vieng on a budget like this: buy cheap flights to Bangkok, take a bus to the northern Thai town of Nong Khai or Udon Thani, from where there are direct buses to Vang Vieng. Yes, the path is not easy, but believe me: it's worth it! Here are a couple of photos of Vang Vieng in confirmation:

Where to go on vacation abroad in 2019 after Turkey and Thailand? Of course, in Vang Vieng! Only there you can swim in this amazing lagoon ...

…and live in hotel with such a great view for mere pennies!

Prices hotels in Vang Vieng not at all high: for $ 15 per day you can rent an excellent room with a view of the river and dragon mountains of unearthly beauty. You can choose a hotel in Vang Vieng on different booking systems:

Entertainment in Vang Vieng is also worth a penny. For example, kayaking for the whole day on mountain rivers against the backdrop of amazing landscapes costs only $12! But I won’t paint for a long time, because we have a separate article about. By the way, with regard to food, in Laos for a Russian tourist it is even more familiar than Thai. The French colonialists taught them to love rolls and other European food, which they cook with pleasure and sell for mere pennies. Welcome to Laos friends!

Where to go on vacation abroad? Option 3: Türkiye, Antalya

For many, Turkey has always been a country of “seal” relaxation by the pool or on a hotel beach. But in times of crisis, Turkey becomes one of the places where even those for whom a vacation is a real journey, rich and varied, can go on vacation abroad. After all, Türkiye is a very interesting country, if you go beyond the limits of the inclusiveness. Have you seen the mountains in Turkey? And the waterfalls? What about ancient cities? If not, then it's time to discover this amazing country! You can get to Turkey not only on a package tour: you can find Cheap flights from Moscow to Antalya dollars for 300-400 for two round trip, the hotel can be found through the booking system.

Read more about independent travel to Turkey in our articles:

In addition, prices in Turkey for Russians are very reasonable. After all, the exchange rate of the Turkish lira, like the ruble, has also fallen sharply recently. Therefore, if in the same Thailand, in terms of rubles, prices doubled, then in Turkey - by 30 percent. Why not an argument in favor of Turkey when answering the question “Where to go on vacation abroad at the current ruble exchange rate?”

Both visas are convenient and save a lot of time and nerves. Usually, in order to obtain a visa permit, you need to pay a fee and send scanned copies of the necessary documents. Below is a list of countries where in 2019 you can travel without a visa in the traditional sense - that is, you can either apply for a visa permit via the Internet or get an electronic visa.

Where can you fly cheaply without a visa?

Do you want to relax on a budget and without a visa? Choose a country from the list below. We have compiled a list of visa-free countries for Russians and states with simplified entry, where you can fly quite inexpensively.

The minimum prices in rubles for air tickets (round-trip) for one person are indicated. The cost of tours is indicated for two for 7-10 nights. We are watching flights from Moscow.

Search for air tickets. Compare the prices of different airlines on the Skyscanner search engine - smart search will help you find cheap tickets.

Abkhazia

To get to Abkhazia, you need to fly to Sochi airport (Adler). Then by land transport we get to the Abkhazian resorts. Tickets to Adler cost from 3,000 rubles, tours to Abkhazia - from 20,000 rubles.

Vietnam, Thailand and Sri Lanka

Inexpensive and visa-free destinations for Russians. One bad thing - you have to spend money on the flight. Tickets cost from 30 thousand rubles, sometimes you can find them for 22-25 thousand. Vouchers cost from 60 thousand for two, to Sri Lanka - from 80 thousand.

Georgia

A country from the list of visa-free for Russians, and it is allowed to stay in Georgia for at least a whole year. You can fly here inexpensively: air tickets to from Moscow and St. Petersburg usually cost about 8-12 thousand rubles. The cheapest flights from Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Krasnodar, Adler and Krasnoyarsk to Tbilisi cost around 15-22 thousand.

Israel

Israel is another country where you can fly without a visa and very cheaply, and many people use it with pleasure! Tickets cost from 11,000 rubles, tours - from 55 thousand.

India

To travel to India, an electronic visa is issued: it is easy to obtain, but it costs $100. But Goa is one of the most inexpensive destinations for relaxing by the sea. Tours cost from 50 thousand, last-minute ones are cheaper. Tickets to Delhi cost from 20 thousand.

Kenya

If you want to go to real black Africa, go to Kenya or Tanzania! Alas, these countries are not included in the list of visa-free for Russians, and tickets are not cheap - from 32,000 rubles. But everything is relative. It is difficult to get visas for almost all other African countries, and flights there are even more expensive. Traveling to Kenya and Tanzania is easier: visas are issued according to a simplified system, there are more flights, and security is higher.

Cyprus

Another popular holiday destination. An electronic visa is easily done online, the prices at the resorts are European, but not prohibitively high. Tickets to Larnaca cost from 6,000 rubles, to Paphos - from 15,000 rubles. You can buy a tour to Cyprus from 50 thousand rubles.

Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt

Russians can fly to Morocco and Tunisia without a visa; in Egypt, a visa is issued upon arrival. Rest in all countries is inexpensive. Tickets from Moscow to Morocco cost from 10-15 thousand, to Egypt and Tunisia - the same amount.

UAE

Inexpensive tickets to Dubai are also not uncommon, and for flights from many Russian cities. You can fly to the UAE from Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Mineralnye Vody, Krasnodar, Kazan from 15 thousand rubles, during big sales - even cheaper. Tickets cost from 50 thousand.

Türkiye

Where can you go inexpensively and without a visa, if not to Turkey? It is these two criteria that have made the country so popular for Russians: visa-free entry and cheap holidays. You can fly to Istanbul for 8000 rubles, to Antalya - for 10 thousand. Tours are very cheap: even 20 thousand rubles is not the limit, there are vouchers for 15 and even 10 thousand for two. Rest "all inclusive" costs from 35 thousand rubles.

Philippines

A flight to the Philippines cannot be called inexpensive - tickets usually cost from 35-40 thousand rubles. However, sometimes you can fly cheaper to this visa-free country for Russians - sometimes there are tickets for 27-30 thousand.

Montenegro

Tickets to Tivat can be found from 10 thousand rubles, to Podgorica - from 13 thousand. Tickets cost from 40 thousand.

South America and the Caribbean

An unfortunate paradox and injustice - the list of visa-free countries for Russians includes almost all the states of South America and the Caribbean, but it is very expensive to fly there. Saved only by large sales (for example, Allitalia) or erroneous tariffs. Usually tickets to Latin American countries cost from 40-50 thousand rubles.

South Korea

One of the few developed countries from the list of visa-free for Russians. This is worth using! The cheapest way to fly to Seoul is from Vladivostok and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk - tickets for direct S7 flights can cost as little as 14,000 rubles. Air tickets from Moscow and St. Petersburg cost from 30 thousand rubles.

We have considered all the countries where Russians in 2019 can go without a visa and at the same time inexpensively. All other countries either require pre-arranged visas (through the consulate and visa centers) or are not destinations where you can fly cheaply.

Due to various reasons, some Russian citizens decide to move permanently to another country. The desire to improve the material well-being of one's family, to gain prospects for the future, to have a sense of security, encourages one to leave their homes and relatives and go to a new country. Considering the number of countries and the variety of conditions in them, the question is reasonable - where can a Russian live well?

Life abroad is different for everyone. Much depends on education and practical skills. Programmers and other freelancers can move to almost any country. They do not need to know the local language, culture and customs.

Working autonomy allows you to fulfill orders remotely, at home. The choice of the country where it is worth moving from Russia is determined by the income received and the ability to rent or purchase housing.

Owners of other professions should be more careful, because. a hasty move can only aggravate the situation and absorb savings.

In developed countries such as the USA, Germany, Canada, there is always a shortage of paramedics, nurses and secondary school teachers.

Since the requirements for certification and the level of knowledge in developed countries differ from the Russian one, it is necessary to confirm the diploma on the spot. There are more chances to undergo the procedure with existing specialists with rich experience and practice.

The majority, deciding where it is better to go to live from Russia, consider developed countries. There are three reasons for this:

  • all developed countries are distinguished by material well-being and high culture (beautiful cities, historical values, loyal political attitude, strong economy);
  • developed countries are developing special migration programs designed to help people who have moved to settle in a new place;
  • most developed countries have a pleasant climate.

Statistics show that only 2% of the total number of those who left Russia managed to settle in the United States.

Only outstanding specialists, scientists or athletes who are ready to continue their activities and attribute their merits to America can submit a direct request to the consulate of this country to obtain citizenship.

Documents for moving can also be submitted by those who have relatives in America. However, the latter will have to confirm the call and their financial capabilities to provide the emigrant for a certain period.

Those who receive a tourist visa and decide to stay must contact the consulate and apply for political asylum. A long process of paperwork will begin. Within 5 years, a person will have a travel restriction status.

The average Russian who seeks political asylum from the United States should be prepared to turn down the opportunity to visit his homeland for the next five years. It should be taken into account how this will affect relatives left in Russia.
