Are you planning to visit Russia? We think it's a wonderful idea and we hope you will enjoy your stay in one of the most fascinating and unpredictable countries in the world.

To enter Russia, you must hold a valid passport, expiring not less than 3 months after the date of your supposed departure from Russia and a Russian visa.

Procedure of receiving a Russian visa consists of two steps, unfortunately both require time and money:

Step 1. Receipt of the Visa Invitation:

Important! In many cases, the Visa Invitation submitted to the Consulate has to be an original, a copy will not be accepted. Therefore, please take in consideration that an additional time and money may be required to receive the original Visa Invitation.

 Step 2. Receipt of the visa at the Russian Consulate:

Important! You have to register your visa after arriving to Russia. The Russian legal entity or a person who invited you to Russia should help you register your visa and help with other problems that may arise (extending your visa, obtaining a new visa in case your passport is lost or stolen, etc).
