Russia has recently introduced an electronic visa (e-visa) service, providing a more convenient travel option for citizens from 55 countries. The visa application process, which can be completed through the electronic visa portal or a mobile app, takes four days.
The electronic visa grants entry into the Russian Federation for various purposes, such as tourism, business visits, participation in scientific, cultural, sociopolitical, economic, or sporting events. Valid for 60 days, foreign visitors can stay in Russia for up to 16 days from the date of entry.
This travel document is applicable for entry via air, road, and water transport, and it can be used at 92 designated border points equipped for electronic visa verification, simplifying the entry process.
