Russians are denied Schengen visas due to travel to the Crimea

Society for the Protection of Consumer Rights, which received scandalous fame after the recommendations go to rest in the Crimea according to the laws of Ukraine, reported several dozens of complaints to the Russians who were not given Schengen visas because people visited the Crimea.

Ekho Moskvy reports this with reference to Mikhail Anshakov, Chairman of the Society for the Protection of Consumer Rights (OCPP) “Public Control”.

Anshakov in the comments for RBC explained that the consulates of foreign countries do not explain the reasons for the refusal of visas.

“However, finding out whether a person visited Crimea, despite the fact that a note about visiting the peninsula is not put in the passport, is not difficult in today’s realities,” Anshakov noted.
