Note: Express processing typically adds 50-100% to the standard consular fee.
Before you can even apply for a Russian visa, you must obtain a visa invitation (also known as visa support). This is a mandatory document, and its cost depends on the type of visa you need.
| Visa Type | Validity | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Tourist Visa | Up to 30 days | ~$18 - $25 |
| Business Visa (Single/Double) | 1 to 3 months | ~$50 - $80 |
| Business Visa (Multiple Entry) | 1 to 3 years | ~$100 - $150+ |
The consular fee is the amount charged by the Russian government to process your application. This fee varies significantly based on bilateral agreements between Russia and your home country.
In many countries, Russian consulates have outsourced the collection of applications to official visa centers (such as VFS Global, Artionis, or Interlink). If you apply through one of these centers, you must pay an additional service fee.
Standard processing takes 10-20 business days. Express processing (1-3 days) typically doubles the standard consular fee. Visa centers may also charge a higher service fee for urgent applications.
Citizens of 55 eligible countries can apply for an e-visa. It costs ~$40 (consular fee only), requires no paid invitation, and has no visa center fees. Valid for up to 16 days.
