How to Get a Russian Visa from Egypt

Everything you need to know about requirements, costs, and processing times for Egyptian passport holders traveling to Russia.

Quick Answer for Egyptians

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.

E-Visa Not Available for Egypt

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.

Requirements for Egyptian Citizens

  • Original 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.

  • Visa Application Form

    Completed online on the official MFA website, printed, and signed personally by the applicant.

  • Passport Photo

    One recent color photograph (3.5 x 4.5 cm) with a light background, taken within the last 6 months.

  • Tourist Invitation Letter

    An official document from a registered Russian travel agency confirming your accommodation and itinerary.

  • Medical Insurance

    A valid health insurance policy covering the entire duration of your stay in Russia.
