Do German citizens need a Russia eVisa?

Yes, German travelers planning a trip to Russia need to apply for a Russia eVisa.

This eVisa is significantly easier to apply for compared to the conventional Russia Tourist Visa. It removes the requirement for an invitation letter, hotel reservation confirmations, or any other documentation that verifies the purpose of your visit to Russia.

Understanding the duration of your stay with a Russia eVisa is important. The visa allows for a 16-day stay in the country, but it's key to remember that this includes both your arrival and departure days. This means you effectively have 14 days to explore Russia.

Germans wishing to immerse themselves in Russian culture and experiences for more than 14 days should consider applying for a Russia Tourist Visa instead, which permits a longer stay.

Understanding the Russia Business Visa

If you're planning to head to Russia for business purposes like meetings, attending conferences, or chasing up new business leads, then the Russia Business Visa is what you're looking for. But be warned that this visa doesn't let you work in Russia or find a job.

Getting a Russia Business Invitation Letter is one of the steps in the application process. Depending on where you're from, you might get this letter from:

• The General Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

• The Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

• A visa directive issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

• Or straight from the Russian company you're planning to work with.
