Russia e-Visa for Citizens of Algeria

Going to Russia as a citizen of Angola will require a visa. Traditionally, visa applications and processing happen at embassies and consulates. There is an e-Visa, or electronic visa, program that Russia began in 2017. Over 50 countries can take advantage of getting a visa from home.

Algeria has yet to be added to the program roster. Eventually, Russia plans to release the program to many other countries. You can come back and keep checking the Visa Checker Tool to see if and when you qualify for the e-Visa program for Russia.

The Russia e-Visa Program | Common Questions & Answers

What is a Russian e-Visa?

How long can I stay in Russia with an e-Visa?

e-Visas for Russia currently last for up to 8 days from the date of entry.

What is the expiration date of a Russian e-Visa?

The Russian e-Visa will expire after 30 days from the date of issuance. This means that you will need to enter Russia with the visa within 30 days from the issuance date or the visa will become invalid.

It is currently required to apply no less than 4 days before you travel to Russia and no more than 20 days before your intended arrival date.

Be sure to plan your trip to Russia within this time frame so you do not make the mistake of allowing your visa to expire before you can use it.

Am I allowed to enter Crimea or Ukraine with a Russian e-Visa?

Russia still enforces its visa policy within Crimea, so it is likely that you can travel there. It is recommended to verify with your Russian connections whether or not it is allowed as the state of politics is volatile at the moment.

It depends on which region you enter and what the specific requirements are for that region according to Russian federal law. Most visas, though, are only good to use for the specific region that you chose to travel to.

How many times can I enter Russia with an e-Visa?

The Russian e-Visa is a single-entry visa. This means you are permitted entry into the Russian Federation one time. If you exit or leave Russia, you will not be allowed to re-enter the country without another visa.
