Fugitive US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden has been given an official pass to leave Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport, Russian airport officials say.
Russian media say the migration service issued the document, but the service has not yet commented.
He has stayed in transit since arriving from Hong Kong on 23 June, and recently requested temporary asylum in Russia.
The US authorities want him extradited for leaking details of government surveillance programmes.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has refused to hand him to the US authorities, but said he could stay in Russia only if he stopped leaking.
Mr Snowden’s lawyer Anatoly Kucherena arrived at the airport earlier, telling reporters only that he was going to see his client.
Unnamed airport officials later told local media that the lawyer had handed Mr Snowden the documents he needed to leave the airport.
The Interfax news agency reported that the American would be provided with new clothes before leaving the airport.
