The Russia e-Visa Program | Frequently Asked Questions

Which travel reasons are accepted as valid to get an e-Visa for Russia?

Currently, the Russian e-Visa can be used for various purposes: business travel, tourism, and humanitarian reasons (in sports, culture, science, and technology).

Am I allowed to cross borders into another region of Russia with a single e-Visa?

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.

After I receive my e-Visa, how long do I have to use it?

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.

What are the entry limits with a standard Russian e-Visa?

You are permitted entry in the Russian Federation one time. If you exit or leave Russia, you will not be allowed to reenter the country without another visa.

Some visa types allow for more than one entry. Check with your visa provider for all of the options available.
