A single-entry electronic visa available to citizens of 64 states. It is valid for 120 days, permits a stay of up to 30 days and is processed within no more than 4 calendar days.
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:
Eligible countries include most EU member states, China, India, Japan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Indonesia, Mexico, and many others (64 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. The reviewed Rules API does not publish the complete structured checkpoint list, so travelers must use the live official MFA registry before travel. It can be extended only on exceptional legal grounds once in Russia.
Compared with an ordinary visa, the e-visa has a single-entry limitation and its own purpose, timing and checkpoint conditions. Tourist confirmation is not required for the e-visa; it is used where required for an ordinary tourist application.
The reviewed Rules API does not publish a fixed current amount. Check the payable fee on the official MFA application portal before submitting. Medical insurance is generally required, although official exemptions may apply.
No. Citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada are not eligible for the Russian e-visa. They must apply for a traditional tourist or business visa with an invitation.
No. The e-visa application does not require any invitation, support letter, or hotel booking confirmation.
The most common visa type for travelers visiting Russia for sightseeing, cultural events, or visiting friends. Valid for up to 30 days with single or double entry.
