Transit visa to Russia

Transit visa to Russia

A transit visa to Russia is granted when a passenger needs to travel through Russia, where their final destination is outside of Russia.

The transit visa can be issued for a single or double entry. It allows staying in Russia for a maximum period of 3 days if travelling by air or 10 days if travelling by land.

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

If you have a connecting flight at the same terminal within 24 hours (e.g. Singapore – Moscow – Houston by SQ) and are staying in the transit zone, no visa is required. This transit visa waiver is not applied to passengers travelling to the Republic of Belarus or the Republic of Kazakhstan.

    After you have printed the application form out, amendments by hand are not allowed. That is why it’s 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.
