People with both Estonian and Russian citizenship must keep in mind that on Russian territory, they are considered Russian citizens by the Russian Federation and Estonia’s options for providing consular assistance are limited. We urge Estonian citizens temporarily in Russia to register their stay on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Consular assistance is only available in the Estonian embassy in Moscow, and for example, if you lose your passport, you must go there in person to get a temporary replacement document that allows you to leave the country. Assistance in other cases (especially if the person in need is not in Moscow) is extremely difficult and time-consuming.
