Will a mandatory fee (tax) on travel abroad be introduced in 2026?
Volume~$144
YES chance
DescriptionThe idea of imposing a special fee on every tourist departing for abroad is being actively promoted by relevant State Duma committees and civil society organizations. It is expected that this “small fee” (amounts ranging from 100 to 500 rubles per person are being discussed) will be accumulated in a special state fund. These funds will serve as a financial cushion for emergency assistance to tourists (hotel payments, evacuation flights) in the event of force majeure. Critics from the Association of Tour Operators (ATOR) fear that this will become an additional tax burden and lead to higher prices for travel packages. The forecast examines whether this mechanism will be officially approved and enshrined in law by the end of 2026.
ConditionsYes: if, by December 31, 2026 (inclusive), a federal law or a government resolution is officially adopted in the Russian Federation introducing a mandatory security fee or contribution for individuals traveling abroad.
No: if such a provision is not introduced by the end of 2026 (the initiative remains under discussion or is rejected).
