Well, here is the easy answer. You can bookmark this website. VisaHQ. Just type in your citizenship, where you currently live and where you would want to visit.Online Application, Visas Requirements.Usually, things do not change for years or decades. And when they do, they are often "very good" or "very bad". In other words, either your country has made new agreements with another country or a country has severed its ties or changed its visa rules and/or relationships with your country.Lastly, yes, any valid multiple entry visa (such as H, B, F, etc) will be qualified.Final note: Always double check the destination country's immigration website before booking any flights or trips. As many of you have rightly said, things can change and you don't want to be caught off-guard.Happy travels!Related:As a USA Green Card holder (permanent resident), which countries can I visit (for tourism) without needing a visa for that country?As a Nepali citizen on an H-1B visa in the US, which countries can I visit (for tourism) without needing a visa for that country?The author runs The Art Of Travel, a large website dedicated to world travel.

Russia has visa free agreements with 117 world countries including such popular tourist destinations as Thailand, Vietnam, Cuba, Turkey, Morocco, Montenegro and Israel as well as such countries like Brazil or South Africa and most the FSU republics.A large number of countries have simplified visa requirements for Russian citizens with visa granted at border control for example in Cyprus, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Tanzania etc. or via online application in 24-48 hours for India or Mexico and many others.China provides Russians with visa-free entry to Hong Kong, Macao and Hainan. Also you can stay in Beijing and Shanghai for up to 72 hours. Other parts of the country require standart Chinese visa.The EU countries obviously require Schengen visas for Russian citizens but such visa is pretty easy to obtain and many people at least in the largest Russian cities have 3-5 year multi Schengen visas that allow them to freely travel to the Union.Among the most tricky countries to visit for Russians are currently the US which also grants 3 year long multi visas but due to strained relationships between countries currently only Moscow embassy is working and acquiring visa can be a pretty lengthy process not to mention that the US visa is pretty expensive ($160).Other countries that are not very comfortable to visit for Russians due to visa requirements are Canada, the UK and Japan. Obtaining their visas usually require a lot of time and bureaucracy procedures and their consulates are known to be somewhat picky in regard to visa applicants.
