According to the source, Germany is issuing visas to Russian citizens on a limited basis in 2026, mainly for single entry. Multiple-entry visas are reportedly not being issued, while long-term residence requires a separate legal basis and residence permit.
For Russian citizens, this means that a move should not be planned around the availability of a multiple-entry Schengen visa: long-term residence still requires an appropriate route such as employment, study, family reunification or another legal basis. In practice, this may make repeat travel more difficult and increase the importance of obtaining the correct national visa and residence documents. The issue primarily affects Russian citizens who need repeated access to Germany or intend to begin a long-term stay there. According to the source, it is worth checking the visa category at the planning stage and matching it to the actual purpose of the move.
