I come from Crimea (Simferopol). Moved 2 years ago to Germany, t. my mother got married in Germany. My stepfather has German citizenship. We all family went to Crimea already some times. But as you know, after the recent events in Ukraine, Crimea is now part of Russia. My mother, brother and sister are now in the Crimea. When they were passing by train the border between Crimea and Ukraine said that there was a serious check and it is unlikely that my stepfather without a Russian visa will be admitted there. Question: Is it possible for German citizens to enter the Crimea without a visa?

At the moment the question is controversial, unfortunately, we, as employees of the tour operator company, can not answer it unambiguously, since this is already a sphere of high politics ...
Officially Crimea is currently part of the Russian Federation, and German citizens need a Russian visa to enter the territory of the Russian Federation. If the check is initiated by the Russian border troops - definitely, without your stepfather's visa to the Crimea should not be allowed. But you understand that these are just theoretical calculations, what is happening there at the moment - it's completely unclear to us.
