Konsulargebühr (Visabearbeitungsgebühr)

Pflichtgebühr an das Konsulat für die Bearbeitung des Visumantrags. Die Höhe hängt von der Staatsbürgerschaft und dem Visumtyp ab.

Ausführliche Erklärung

The consular fee is the official charge levied by a Russian embassy or consulate for reviewing and processing a visa application. This fee is separate from the cost of obtaining a visa invitation and is paid directly to the consulate (usually at the time of application submission).

Typical consular fee ranges (2024–2026):

  • Standard processing (5–10 working days): $40–$80 for most nationalities
  • Express processing (1–3 days): $80–$150
  • Urgent/same-day: $150–$250 (where available)
  • US citizens: Fixed at $160 regardless of visa type or processing speed (reciprocity principle)
  • UK citizens: Varies by visa type, typically £50–£130

The consular fee varies based on: 1. Your nationality (bilateral agreements affect pricing) 2. Visa type (tourist, business, work, student, etc.) 3. Number of entries (single, double, multiple) 4. Processing speed (standard, express, urgent) 5. Visa duration (for business visas: 3 months, 6 months, 1 year)

Important: The consular fee is NON-REFUNDABLE, even if your visa application is denied. Some consulates also charge a separate "service fee" if you apply through a visa application center (like VFS Global) rather than directly at the consulate.

The consular fee does NOT include the cost of the visa invitation, which must be obtained separately before applying.
