Electronic Visa to Russia for Foreigners

The unified electronic visa is a new format of a visa document that allows foreigners to visit Russia without obtaining a regular visa (sticker in passport). Electronic visa is issued to citizens of 64 countries from the list approved by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Purpose of entry: E-visa is intended for tourist, business, humanitarian and private trips, as well as for participation in socio-political, economic, cultural and sporting events.

Validity period of an electronic visa is 120 days from the date of issue. The permitted period of stay in Russia shall not exceed 30 days from the date of entry. E-visa can be single-entry only.

An e-visa is valid for entry into and exit from Russia only through the following State border crossing points of the Russian Federation.

If the purpose of your trip to Russia differs from those listed above or you're planning to stay longer, you have to apply to the consular office of the Russian Federation for a regular (non-electronic) visa. You can request a visa invitation to Russia on the "Invitation to Russia" tab.
