Do I need a Russian visa to transfer in Moscow?

Connecting in Moscow can be divided into two situations:

1. China citizens who hold passports, joint flight tickets with confirmed dates and seats to the final destination country, and visas to the final destination country and transfer at the same airport (except for international flights to domestic flights) and stay for no more than 24 hours can be exempted from Russian visas, and their activities are limited to the transfer area of the same airport;

2. If you need to transfer between different airports in Moscow or different cities in Russia, you must apply for a valid entry or transit visa in advance. Passengers who fly to Belarus via Russia or take off from Belarus via Russia must complete valid entry or transit visas in advance, no matter how long they stay at the airport or whether they transfer across the airport. Russia does not have a 72-hour visa-free transit system, and there is no airport for visas on arrival.
