Important Russia Visa Details
How can I obtain a business invitation and how long does it take?
It takes approximately 8-15 days to obtain a business invitation. Once we have your business invite, we can start processing your visa application. Click on the “Russian Letter of Invitation” in the checklist on the left for more information on how we can help you obtain a business invitation.
Note: Processing time is measured in business days and does not include holidays or weekends.
What is considered a valid passport to obtain a Russian visa?
Your passport must be valid for six months beyond the intended validity of your visa. For example, if you are applying for a six month Russian visa, your passport must be valid for at least one year. Likewise, if you are applying for a one-year Russian visa, then your passport must be valid for at least 18 months.
How many blank passport pages will I need to obtain a Russian visa?
We can typically obtain a single or double entry visa in your passport if you have one blank visa page; however, we always need two blank visa pages to obtain a multiple entry Russian visa. To prevent any delays, we highly recommend that you have at least two blank facing visa pages to apply for any type of Russian visa.
