TELEX (Numéro d'autorisation du MAE)

Autorisation électronique du ministère russe des Affaires étrangères envoyée au consulat pour délivrer un visa d'affaires sans document papier.

Explication Détaillée

A TELEX (also written as Telex or telex number) in the context of Russian visas refers to an electronic authorization sent by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MID/MFA) directly to a specified Russian consulate or embassy. It authorizes that consulate to issue a business visa to a named applicant.

How the TELEX process works: 1. A Russian company or authorized visa service submits an invitation request to the MFA 2. The MFA reviews and approves the request 3. The MFA sends a TELEX (electronic confirmation with a unique number) to the specified consulate 4. The applicant visits that consulate with their TELEX number to apply for the visa 5. The consulate verifies the TELEX in their system and processes the visa

Key characteristics:

  • The TELEX is tied to a SPECIFIC consulate — you must apply at the consulate it was sent to
  • Processing time: 10–21 business days from request to TELEX arrival at consulate
  • Used primarily for business visas (single, double, or multiple entry)
  • Valid for 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year depending on the invitation
  • The applicant receives a TELEX reference number but not the actual document
  • The consulate can verify the TELEX electronically in the MFA system

TELEX invitations are more expensive than simple business letter invitations but are considered more reliable because they come directly from the MFA and cannot be questioned by the consulate.
