Sometimes even the most carefully prepared travelers can encounter unforeseen circumstances. A Russian citizen who returned from abroad through Vnukovo airport encountered an unpleasant situation due to suspicions of inaccuracy in documents, the TurDom website wrote.

The border guard drew attention to the Russian citizen’s middle name “Fedorovich.” In the foreign passport, the letter “ё” was replaced by “e”. This caused doubts in the employee, and the tourist had to wait an hour for an answer to the request. According to the new laws, discrepancy between the letters could lead to the confiscation of the passport.

It is important to remember that even minor discrepancies in documents can lead to unpleasant consequences. In this case, the Russian was lucky that his situation was resolved successfully. He only wasted time.

To avoid such incidents, you need to carefully check your documents before traveling. It is important to have all the necessary documents with you, including an internal passport to verify information. This will help avoid unnecessary delays and inconveniences during travel, border control officials say.
