Do Filipino citizens need a Russia eVisa?
Filipino citizens looking to experience the wonders of Russia must apply for a Russia eVisa.
This eVisa is easier to apply for than the usual Russia Tourist Visa because you don't have to worry about sending over an invitation letter, hotel bookings, or proof of why you're visiting Russia.
It's important to know how long you can stay in Russia with this eVisa. You get 16 days, but since the day you arrive and the day you leave are counted, you actually have 14 days in Russia.
For Filipinos who want more than 14 days to explore everything Russia offers, going for a Russia Tourist Visa is your next best step. This way, you can stay longer and see more.
Understanding the Russia Business Visa
The Russia Business Visa caters to individuals traveling to Russia for business-related activities, such as attending meetings, conferences, or exploring business opportunities. However, it's important to note that this visa doesn't permit working or job-hunting in Russia.
A crucial part of the application process is securing a Russia Business Invitation Letter. The issuing authority for this letter depends on your nationality and can come 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 directly from the Russian company you're visiting.
