E-Visa (Electronic Visa) for Russia

A simplified electronic visa for Russia available to citizens of 50+ countries. Free of charge, processed in 4 days, valid for 16 days with single entry.

Explicación Detallada

The Russian e-visa (electronic visa) is a simplified visa that can be applied for entirely online through the official Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal (evisa.kdmid.ru). It was introduced to make short visits to Russia more accessible.

Key characteristics of the Russian e-visa:

  • Cost: FREE (no consular fee)
  • Processing time: Up to 4 calendar days
  • Validity: 60 days from issue date
  • Maximum stay: 16 days
  • Entry type: Single entry only
  • Purpose: Tourism, business, humanitarian, or guest visits
  • Application: Online only at evisa.kdmid.ru
  • No invitation required
  • No need to visit a consulate

Eligible countries include most EU member states, China, India, Japan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Indonesia, Mexico, and many others (50+ countries total).

Notable exclusions: Citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada are NOT eligible for the Russian e-visa and must apply for a traditional visa with an invitation.

The e-visa allows entry through designated checkpoints only (major airports, some land borders, and sea ports). It cannot be extended once in Russia, and overstaying carries serious penalties including deportation and entry bans.

Compared to a traditional tourist visa (30 days, requires invitation), the e-visa offers faster processing and zero cost but with a shorter allowed stay and single-entry limitation.
