The e-visa suits one-entry trips with a stay of up to 30 days through a checkpoint in the official registry. An ordinary tourist visa may be more suitable for a different entry route or double entry.
If your country is not on the eligible list (e.g., USA, UK, Canada, Australia), you need a traditional tourist visa. This requires a visa invitation letter (visa support letter).
If the e-visa route does not fit, review the ordinary tourist-visa route. Documents are sent by email after payment is completed and the submitted data passes the required checks. Visa issuance and admission decisions are made by the competent Russian authorities.
