Updated on Oct 11, 2024

The Russian Federation has recently launched its new eVisa system! This means that you no longer have to apply for separate visas for each region in Russia you want to visit and meet the specific requirements for that region.

This recently launched Russia eVisa system unifies all previous eVisas into one simple online application. As a result, you can once again visit the country for tourism, business, or sporting events.

Keep reading to learn more about the Russian eVisa requirements, eligibility, whether you need a Russian Invitation letter, and how to apply.

Requirements to apply for the Russia eVisa

The requirements for getting a Russian eVisa are simple. They include providing your passport and personal information, a confirmed hotel booking, and a passport photo.

You can apply easily via our online platform or by downloading the iVisa app. If you have any questions, our expert team is ready to help at each step.

Russian eVisa: Who is eligible?

Most travelers wishing to enter Russia for tourism or business must obtain a visa to enter the country. However, the type of visa they need depends on their nationality.

Check if you can apply for the eVisa or need to visit a Russian Embassy to get a traditional visa with our Visa Checker Tool.

  • Russia eVisa: Citizens from over 50 countries have access to the eVisa program for Russia, including travelers from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Singapore, and more.

  • Traditional Russia Visa: If you're not eligible for the eVisa and aren't visa-exempt, you may need to apply for a standard Russian Visa at your nearest Embassy or Consulate.

Entry requirements for Russia

Besides the visa requirements, you'll need to meet some entry requirements to visit Russia. Here is some important information you have to know before you go:

  • Russian Invitation Letter: You need the Russian Invitation Letter for your application for a visa at the Russian Embassy or Consulate only. It's a quick and easy registration you can do 100% online through our platform.

An Invitation Letter from your Russian host or company is no longer required for eVisa applicants.

  • COVID-19 regulations in Russia: Russia has removed all COVID-19 entry requirements, such as testing, vaccination certificates, and quarantine.

  • Other health requirements in Russia: A valid health insurance policy covering the entire duration of your stay in Russia.
