EXPLANATION:
Border crossing points are based on the Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Finland and the Government of the Russian Federation on crossing points at the Finnish-Russian state frontier (Helsinki, 11 March 1994). Those marked with an asterisk (*) are in limited use only and open only to citizens of Finland and Russia under the bilateral agreement. They are kept open for traffic as the need arises. Traffic consists almost exclusively of timber freight. The majority of crossing points are closed most of the time. The border crossing points concerned form the subject of negotiations between the Finnish and Russian authorities. Those marked with two asterisks (**) are in limited use only for a temporary period of time and open only to citizens of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and the Republic of Finland and to their family members travelling with them or joining them, irrespective of their nationality. This temporary restriction is in force for 180 days with effect from 10 April 2016.
