Citizenship-first guidance
Russian Business Visa: Check Citizenship Eligibility First
Business invitation products are not available to every citizenship. Select the passport you will use; price, Offer markup and an order route appear only after the allowlist check.
No price or order button is displayed until passport citizenship is selected.
What to Confirm Before Applying
Sponsor and Invitation Route
The required sponsor and document type depend on citizenship and the responsible authority.
Current Filing Checklist
Use the mission or visa centre handling the application as the source of truth.
Authority Decision
An invitation is a supporting document and does not guarantee document acceptance or visa issuance.
Important Distinctions
Business is not work. A business visa does not authorize employment. An employer-sponsored work route is separate.
Residence is not citizenship. Eligibility follows the passport used in the application.
Invitation is not approval. The competent authority makes the decision on each application.
