Do Lebanese citizens need a Russia Tourist Visa?

Lebanese citizens planning to visit Russia are required to get a Russia Tourist Visa. This visa is essential for your journey to Russia.

An essential part of the visa application is obtaining a Russian Letter of Invitation. Also known as a tourist voucher or visa support letter, this document can be provided by either the hotel you're staying at or a registered tour operator in Russia. It serves as your formal invitation to visit Russia.

Understanding the Russia Business Visa

The Russia Business Visa is designed for people going to Russia to engage in business-related activities such as attending meetings and conferences or exploring potential business opportunities. However, it's important to note that this visa doesn't permit employment or job searching within Russia.

For your application, you’ll need a Russia Business Invitation Letter. The source of this letter depends on your nationality, but generally, it can be obtained 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.

• The Russian company that’s inviting you.
