Dear passengers!
- Passengers arriving Sheremetyevo will be taken to the terminal building by apron buses or proceed via a jet bridge.
- Passengers will be guided to the buses by the welcoming agent. Welcoming personnel will advise arriving passengers on security arrangements in the event of poor weather conditions.
Transit passengers should consult Transit Passenger Information.
- Once in the terminal, proceed to the arrival lounge following the signs, and go to passport control (immigration control, visa control).
- Go to the desks in front of the passport control line to fill out an immigration card.
- An airport officer in the passport control zone will help you fill out your immigration card.
- After passport control proceed to the luggage delivery area. Luggage from arriving flights is delivered by conveyor belts. You may receive information about which conveyor belt will deliver your luggage from the overhead data panels. Oversized luggage is delivered by hand carts.
- After reception of your luggage, proceed to customs control.
- After customs control (having filled out the customs declarations and paid all customs fees, if any), proceed to the concourse.
In some cases, a shift supervisor of the control department with the Linear Administration for Internal Affairs (LAIA) may request your luggage for post-flight inspection.
Post-flight inspection helps to prevent and intercept smuggling and distribution of weapons, ammunition, drugs, and explosive devices, as well as explosive, toxic and other substances and items of high hazard and criminal nature, primarily from regions with a problematic operational environment (high crime rate). Inspection shall be carried out in accordance with the Law of the Russian Federation No.
Post-flight inspection of passengers and luggage, including any items held or worn by the passengers, shall be carried out at specifically designated inspection rooms by the Aviation Security Directorate officers in the presence of Sheremetyevo LAIA officers, including dog service personnel, properly trained and certified, and dogs, as well as authorized officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, as the case may be. The post-flight inspection room will be located after the customs control line.
