Russia visa for Jordanian citizens: How to apply

If you’re a Jordanian citizen looking forward to visiting Russia, understanding the visa process is key.

Although we currently don’t handle Russia visa applications, we’ve created this guide that covers the essentials for getting a Russia Tourist Visa.

Do Jordanians need a visa for Russia?

Yes, all Jordanian citizens need a visa to enter Russia. Jordanians are not eligible for the Russia eVisa, so a traditional visa application is required.

You’ll need to apply through the nearest Russian embassy or consulate in person.

What is the Russia Tourist Visa?

The Russia Tourist Visa is for short-term visits related to tourism. Typically, this visa allows a 30-day stay in Russia, either for single or double entry.

It’s necessary to have an invitation letter as part of the application, which verifies your purpose of travel.

What is a Russia invitation letter?

A Russia invitation letter—sometimes called a visa support letter or tourist voucher—is required for most traditional Russian visas. This document confirms your travel plans and includes details like the itinerary and reference number.

The invitation letter is usually issued by a Russian travel agency or hotel registered with the Federal Migration Service (FMS). Having this letter is a core step in the application process, so make sure it’s ready before you start.

How to apply for a Russia visa from Jordan

Applying for a Russia Tourist Visa as a Jordanian citizen involves these steps:

1.Get an invitation letter: You’ll need this document from a licensed Russian organization or your booked hotel in Russia. We can help you get one. Get started on your application on our website.

2.Complete the visa application form: The application form is available online on the Russian embassy in Jordan website. Make sure all information is accurate and matches your supporting documents.

3.Gather the required documents: Collect all necessary paperwork before your appointment, as any missing documents can delay processing.

4.Schedule a visa appointment: Make an appointment to submit your documents in person. The booking is done on the embassy website.

5.Submit your application in person: You’ll also pay the visa fees during your appointment.

iVisa pro tip: To avoid long wait times at the embassy, schedule appointments as early in the day as possible. Morning slots tend to be less crowded, which can speed up processing and leave you with time for any follow-up steps, if needed.

What documents do I need?

When applying for a Russia Tourist Visa, you’ll need the following documents:

• A valid passport: It must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay and have at least two blank pages.

• A passport-sized photo: It should be recent, measure 35mmm by 45mm, and have a light background.

• A Russia invitation letter

• Travel Insurance that covers the period of your stay in Russia.

• A hotel booking confirmation: This may be requested as part of your visa application to confirm your accommodation plans.

iVisa hack: Carry extra passport-size photos and multiple copies of your visa and passport. These can be useful if there’s a document check, or in case your migration card (which you’ll receive upon entry) is misplaced, as having a spare copy can save you from potential fines.
