RUSSIAN VISAS & UKRAINE CONFLICT

All Russian visas are being issued. There are no any problems with applications. The procedure remains the same.

Travelling to Russia on your own? Need a Russian tourist visa? We can provide full assistance with the Russian visa to all independent travellers. Please do not worry that your application will be unsuccessful (unless you have had any immigration issues with the Russian authorities in the past). All our tourists get their visas.
  A visa to the Russian Federation is a document, permitting stay in Russia for a specific period of time. Visa lists entry/exit dates, your name, passport details, and a purpose of travel. Every foreign citizen needs a Russian visa to enter / leave Russia, except nationals of some countries enjoying visa-free regime with Russia. Please note, that your Russian visa is an exit permit just like it’s an entry permit: if you lose it or stay over your designated departure date, leaving the country could be more troublesome than entering it.

Tourist visa is a document which allows foreigners to travel to Russia as tourists. Such visas are issued as:

• single entry for 30 or 90 days (allows only one entry into Russia within visa validity period),
• double entry for 30 or 90 days (allows two entries into Russia within visa validity period),
• multi entry visas for a maximum of 180 days (allowed period of stay of up to 90 days).

A single / double entry tourist visa is best when you know exactly where and how long you will be staying without diverting from your planned itinerary.

For a tourist visa to Russia, you must have confirmed accommodation for every night of your stay in the country. Note: If you apply for your tourist visa through our company, you do not need to provide any confirmation of your accommodation booking.

We can assist you with the single / double / multi entry tourist visas as well as Russian business visas.
 

BIOMETRICS

Biometric data is required for Russian visa applications made in the UK, for all applicants over 12 years old. The procedure is quick and requires only one visit. This is not an interview with a consular officer, rather a technical procedure where your fingers will be scanned. It will take no more than 15 minutes to submit your documents. If you apply for a visa through our company, biometrics is done at our office in Central London,  Kensington, the closest tube station - Notting Hill Gate. Otherwise you will need to visit a Russian visa centre.
