A new law has come into force in Russia requiring foreigners and long-term visitors to be fingerprinted and have regular mandatory medical check-ups.
Anyone staying for over 90 days will be checked for sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis and drug use.
Under the law, signed during the summer by President Vladimir Putin, foreigners staying for over three months have to be fingerprinted with immediate notice. But from 1 March they must also be checked for HIV and Aids, tuberculosis, leprosy and syphilis, as well as the "presence or absence" of use of narcotic or psychotropic drugs and new potentially dangerous psychoactive substances.
Diplomats or members of international organisations and their families are exempt, as are children under six as well as Belarusian nationals.
