This article is about current requirements to enter Russia. For prior requirements that are no longer in effect, see Visa history of Russia.

The visa policy of Russia deals with the requirements of foreign nationals to enter Russia.

Russia has agreements with many countries whose citizens are exempt from visas, although an Electronic Travel Authorization with a QR code from the Gosuslugi mobile app is required in these cases. If a visa is required, depending on country of origin, some people may obtain an electronic visa (e-Visa); while others must apply for a visa at a diplomatic mission of Russia or visa center. A holder of a visa to enter Belarus may also enter Russia with such visa; however, this policy does not apply to Belarusian e-visas.

Despite international sanctions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia continues to issue visas to citizens of all countries. Depending on country of origin, at any border crossing, foreigners may be questioned, have their biometrics taken, including fingerprints and photos, and are subject to search of baggage and mobile phone content, including contact lists, correspondence, and posts on social media. Officers focus on contact with Ukrainians, and any opinions on politics and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1]

Types of visas available for issuance include private, business, tourist, educational, working, transit, humanitarian, service, and diplomatic. The length and terms of visas depend on the nationality of the recipient and other personal circumstances. Long term tourist visas are available to citizens of the United States (3-year visa, 6 months per visit with an unlimited number of visits) and the European Union (5-year visa).

The Russian visa is a machine-readable document, that is stickered to a page in the holder's passport. All fields are indicated in both Russian and English, but are filled out only in Russian. The holder's name appears in the Cyrillic alphabets. However, since Cyrillic letters cannot be used in the machine-readable passport (only the Latin letters A–Z and the Arabic numerals 0–9 can be used), Russia has a one-to-one correspondence for the Cyrillic letters and the Latin letters, but since Russian alphabet has 33 Cyrillic letters, 26 Latin letters are not sufficient, thus Russia also uses some Arabic numerals for the Cyrillic letters.[2][3]

To apply for a visa, a passport, a passport photo, a tourist invitation letter (can be purchased online), and a completed application form printed on A4 paper are required.[4]

Russia has 380 border checkpoints.[5] Transporting any amount of currency of countries in the European Union (EU), including Euros, directly to Russia from EU countries such as Estonia and Latvia is prohibited by the EU.

Crimea is under de facto Russian control and the visa policy of Russia applies for travel to Crimea. Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia are internationally recognized as part of Ukraine, and, although they are at least partially or sometimes controlled by Russia, the visa policy of Ukraine applies to travel to these regions.

Mutual recognition of visas between Russia and Belarus

Holders of a valid visa or residence permit of either Belarus or Russia and a mutually recognized identity document may enter both countries, within the validity of the visa; however, this policy does not apply to e-visas.[68][69] In cases where one country has a visa-free regime and the other requires a visa, the person must hold both the ID document and a visa for the latter.[69]

Foreign nationals with temporary permanent residency or a document for attending an international event have the right to enter, exit, stay, and transit without a visa within the validity of their documents.[69]

Stay duration is calculated from entry into one country from a third state.[69]

Closed cities

In accordance with the Government Decree of 1992, special authorization is required to enter 19 closed cities in Russia.[148] This restriction does not apply to Russian citizens.

A full list of such areas:

Entry and stay conditions for EAEU and CIS citizens

Main articles: mobility rights arrangements within the Commonwealth of Independent States and Single Economic Space of the Eurasian Economic Union

Russia's visa and other migration policies (incl. healthcare and conditions of family members) are also implemented in accordance with the mobility rights arrangements within the Commonwealth of Independent States and the rules of the single market of the Eurasian Economic Union.

Changes and tightening of Russian legislation in the sphere of migration do not apply to those who have Russian citizenship through international agreements on dual citizenship, and to citizens of the EAEU countries. For citizens of the EAEU, the rules of the EAEU apply.[149][150]

On 29 November 2024, the Commonwealth of Independent States adopted an updated Concept for the phased formation of a common labor market (Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan) and migration regulation.[151][152][153][154]

Simplified Ordinary Tourist Visa

The Russian government issues general tourist visas for up to 6 months to 19 countries based on hotel reservations or other accommodation reservation confirmations. This list includes information on hotels, ski resorts, and beaches.[155]

Exit visa

Russia requires that an alien who needs a visa on entry be in possession of a valid visa upon exit.

To satisfy this formal requirement, exit visas sometimes need to be issued. Russia requires an exit visa if a visitor stays well past the expiration date of their visa. They must then extend their visa or apply for an exit visa and are not allowed to leave the country until they show a valid visa or have a permissible excuse for overstaying their visa (e.g., a note from a doctor or a hospital explaining an illness, missed flight, lost or stolen visa). In some cases, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can issue a Return-Home certificate that is valid for 10 days from the embassy of the visitor's native country, thus eliminating the need for an exit visa.[156][157][158]

A foreign citizen granted a temporary residence permit in Russia needs a temporary resident visa to take a trip abroad (valid for both exit and return). It is also colloquially called an exit visa.
