Everything you need to know about requirements, costs, and processing times for Egyptian passport holders traveling to Russia.
Yes, Egyptian citizens must obtain a visa to travel to Russia. You are not eligible for the e-Visa, so you must apply for a traditional paper visa at the Russian Embassy in Cairo or the Consulate in Alexandria. The process requires an official invitation letter, which you can get online in minutes.
The unified Russian e-Visa system is currently not available for Egyptian passport holders. You must apply for a traditional paper visa sticker that will be placed in your passport.
This means you cannot apply entirely online. You will need to visit the Russian Embassy or Consulate in person to submit your physical documents and passport.
Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Russia, with at least two blank pages for the visa sticker.
Completed online on the official MFA website, printed, and signed personally by the applicant.
