Tourists from eligible countries (including Germany, Austria, Swiss, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Oman, Taiwan and others) can apply for an E-Visa online through the official Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website here https://evisa.kdmid.ru.
The application can be submitted up to 40 days and no later than 4 days before your intended arrival. You’ll need a valid passport, a digital photo, and a photo of your passport's data page.
The visa is valid for a stay of up to 16 days within a 60-day period. A processing fee applies, and applications are processed within 4 days.
If you plan to stay longer than 16 days or if your country is not listed among those eligible for E-Visa, then in addition to the standard package of documents, such as your application form, your passport and photo, it is required to provide an invitation letter issued by a Russian party.
IWIR Travel agency, in partnership with iVisa Visa Service LLC, will be happy to provide such an invitation letter for your Russian visa. If you feel that the E-Visa process is too complicated, or do not have time to deal with it, please, contact us via email and we will be happy to assist you.
