From October 12, Russians arriving in Spain will have to be fingerprinted and photographed at the border as part of a new biometric system. This was announced on October 12 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of the Russian Federation.

"Starting today, the new biometric system for crossing the EU's external borders (Entry/Exit System) comes into force," the Telegram channel said.

According to the new rules, when entering and leaving the country, citizens of the Russian Federation and other countries are required to take fingerprints and photographs at border control. The system will be implemented gradually, starting from Madrid airport, and then spread to other border control points in Spain.
