Regarding the Electronic Appointment Application at the Verkhny Lars Border Crossing on the Russia-Georgia Border

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, in the letter dated 27.05.2025, numbered 6039 and on the subject of the Electronic Appointment Application at the Verkhny Lars Border Crossing on the Russia-Georgia Border forwarded to our Union, it had been notified that, as of 01.10.2025, the Verkhny Lars border crossing on the Russian Federation - Georgia border would be added to the crossing points where the electronic appointment application is already implemented by the Russian Federation at some border crossings.
This time, in the letter received from the General Directorate of International Trade in Services of the Ministry of Trade, the attached User Guide prepared by our Commercial Counsellor's Office in Moscow regarding the problems experienced with the electronic appointment system that has started to be implemented at other crossing points has been forwarded.
The Guide states that;

• as of 1 October 2025, crossings through the Verkhny Lars border crossing with the electronic queue system will be coordinated by FKGU Rosgranstroy, a Federal State Institution affiliated with the Ministry of Transport of Russia,

• in order to facilitate registration procedures, it is recommended that a personal account be created on the GIS EPD portal and that vehicle cards be added to the system by 1 October; furthermore, for foreign carriers, after a personal account is created by telephone number or e-mail, all information must be completed and approval must be obtained after verification
