Passanforderungen für russisches Visum

Additional considerations:

• •Second/emergency passports: Generally accepted, but check with your consulate
• •Renewed passports: If you renewed your passport, some consulates want to see the old one too
• •Name changes: Passport name must match all supporting documents exactly
• •Children: Must have their own passport (cannot be on parent's passport)

Common rejection reasons:

• •Passport expires too soon (less than 6 months after visa end date)
• •Not enough blank pages
• •Name on passport doesn't match name on invitation exactly
• •Passport is damaged or has illegible pages
• •Photo in passport is significantly different from current appearance

Special cases:

• •US citizens: Can use a passport card for land border crossings (rare)
• •Dual nationals: Must use the same passport for visa application and entry
• •Diplomatic passports: Different application process and requirements
