Russian Visa Arrangements

In order to get a Russian visa, you need to obtain an invitation (also called visa support) first. Different visa types require different visa support documents. For a tourist visa, it is a "travel voucher" and a "hotel reservation confirmation" issued by a Russian travel agency.

Both papers are called “invitation” or “tourist visa support” and can be ordered online through this page.

You will then need to take your visa support to the consulate in order to get a Russian visa along with the other documents needed (usually, your passport, photos, and visa processing fee - normally $50 to $100 US). After you get your visa support documents through this site, you can contact the Russian consulate in your country to learn how you can apply for the visa and what exactly you should bring to the consulate in addition to your visa support documents.

If you would like an agency in your country to take care of all the arrangements, so you don't have to go to the consulate by yourself, please, get the visa support (invitation) through this page and then choose one of the agencies listed on Russian Visa Net website.

Please read our Terms and Conditions before requesting your visa support!

To obtain Russian Business Visa Support Authorization (Official Visa Invitation from Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Federal Migration Service or Authorized organizations) choose Your Visa Type and complete Visa Support Application Form below.

1. A foreign citizen can obtain a visa to Russia ONLY in the country of his/her citizenship. Exceptions include those who have a residence permit for a foreign country for the period more than 90 days. However, the final decision is left up to the consulates. We recommend that you get in touch with the Russian consulate in the country of your current location and make sure that your application will be accepted.
2. A multiple entry business visa allows nationals of all countries to stay in Russia up to 90 days out of the period of 180 days. .

Attention: a multiple entry visa is only available for people who have been issued a Russian visa before. If this is your first visit, you are only eligible to obtain a single or double entry visa for 1 to 3 months.

Effective April 13, 2009 the visa processing time and fees at the Russian consulates have changed. The visa processing takes no less than 3 business days. To obtain up to date information on the visa processing time and fees, please contact your local Russian consulate.
