    • Business visa to Russia

    A business visa to Russia is granted for individuals going to Russia for business purposes. There are several sub-types of business visas, such as ordinary, technical support, crew member, family attendant, etc. Business visas are normally issued for a period of 30 / 90 / 180 / 365 days and could be issued for a single, double or multiple entries. The validity period of the visa will directly correspond to the dates specified in the business invitation letter.

    Double-entry visa is granted only if you are leaving Russia to the neighbouring (bordering) country.

    • A multiple-entry 1-year visa for Russia allows for multiple visits throughout its validity period. However be aware of the 90-day rule which stipulates you cannot stay in Russia for more than 90 consecutive days, or a cumulative total of 90 days within any 180-day period. The 90 days period starts from the date of arrival to Russia.
