    Application procedure for a private visa to Russia:

    Step 1

    Ask your friends or relatives who live in Russia to obtain a personal invitation certificate (“izveshchenie”). The certificate must be obtained through the local OVIR office. The processing time is up to 2 months. Once an invitation is ready, it will need to be posted to you, as the consulate will only accept an original invitation letter.

    Step 2

    Complete the online visa form.

    After you’ve printed the application form out, amendments by hand are NOT allowed. That is why it is very important to write down your application ID and answer/password to a secret question, to be able to log into the system and make changes in your form if required later.

    An online application form can be completed in our office with the professional assistance of our consultant; this would help to avoid any mistakes and to ensure smooth visa processing. An additional surcharge of 38 SGD will apply in this case.

    Step 3

    Prepare the following documents:

    • Printed out online application form.
    • Original passport with 6 months’ validity beyond the validity of the visa and with 2 empty pages for stamping the visa.
    • 1 recent passport-size colour photograph (3.5 cm x 4.5 cm) on a white background – can be arranged in our office. You cannot wear a white top; the top must have sleeves.
    • Original and a copy of a residence permit for non-Singaporean passport holders (EP, PEP, PR, DP, S-Pass) or the electronic landing card for eligible nationalities. The residence permit can be returned the next day after lodgement of the documents.
    • For nationals of European Union Member States, Ireland and Israel, travel insurance covering Russia, which is valid for the whole period of stay in Russia (original and copy).
    • Personal invitation.
