Russian Tourist Visa for Vietnamese Citizens — Overview
A Russian tourist visa allows Vietnamese citizens to visit Russia for tourism, sightseeing, visiting friends, or cultural events. The visa is typically issued for up to 30 days (single or double entry). Here's everything you need to know about applying for a Russian tourist visa from Vietnam.
Requirements for a Russian Tourist Visa
Requirements depend on passport citizenship and the office handling the application. Use its current checklist for passport validity, application form, photograph, tourist confirmation where required, insurance where required, accommodation evidence and authority-fee payment.

Processing Time and Fees
Processing time, authority fees and any visa-centre charges depend on the office and route. Confirm the live amounts, appointment procedure and timeline directly before submission.
Where to Apply
Vietnamese citizens can apply at the Russian Embassy or Consulate in Vietnam. Some countries also have authorized visa centers. Check our consulate directory for the nearest location with full address, phone, and working hours.
