Most foreign citizens need a visa to enter Russia. The type of visa depends on your purpose of visit (tourism, business, study, work) and your nationality. Citizens of some countries can enter Russia visa-free for short stays, while citizens of 64 countries are eligible for the simplified e-visa.
For a regular Russian visa, applicants generally need visa support appropriate to the visa category. Check the exact document list with the responsible Russian mission. A unified e-visa does not require an invitation.
Key facts: Tourist visa-support pricing is shown before payment; the current delivery estimate and payment options are shown at checkout. Business invitation service is limited to eligible Schengen-country, U.S. and Japanese citizenships. Unified e-visa validity, stay limits, fees and eligible citizenships must be checked on the official MFA portal.
