Which Russian Visa Do You Need?

The correct route depends on passport citizenship, purpose, planned entries and stay. The unified e-visa is available to citizens of 64 states and needs no invitation; an ordinary tourist visa generally uses tourist confirmation. Check current fees and filing rules with the official portal or handling office.

The unified e-visa needs no invitation, is valid for 120 days, allows one stay of up to 30 days and is processed in no more than four calendar days. Its current fee and checkpoints are on the official portal. Ordinary tourist visas have separate supporting-document and handling-office rules.

The supporting document and available business route depend on passport citizenship and purpose. Online business-invitation availability is limited; select citizenship on the business visa guide before any product, price or order action is shown.

Tourist visas generally can be extended only on exceptional legal grounds. A longer intended stay does not automatically make a business visa appropriate; select a route according to citizenship and the genuine purpose of travel.

Multiple-entry availability depends on visa category, citizenship, supporting documents and the authority's decision. A unified e-visa is single-entry. Do not select a business route solely because more entries are desired.

Total cost depends on citizenship, visa route, handling office and optional services. The official e-visa portal publishes its current government fee; consular and visa-centre fees should be confirmed with the handling office. Service terms are shown before payment.
