Astrometric observations of the radio source occultations by solar system bodies may be of large interest for testing gravity theories, dynamical astronomy, and planetary physics. In this paper, we present an updated list of the occultations of astrometric radio sources by planets expected in the nearest years. Such events, like the solar eclipses, generally speaking, can be only observed in a limited region. The map of the shadow path is provided for the events occurred in regions with several VLBI stations and hence the most interesting for radio astronomy experiments.
