Visas
and passports
are required by all visitors to Russia. There
are two popular types of Russian visas - "tourist visas" and "business
visas". In most cases a "tourist" visa should be satisfactory - unless
you are planning to go to Russia for longer than 14 days. In this case
you should apply for a "business" visa.
Three month tourist visas do not exist anymore. If you need to stay in
Russia for longer than 14 days then the only option is to get a
business visa. Business visas can be valid for up to 12 months. A
Russian Business
Visa is supposed to be issued to people who are
going to Russia
for business purposes, but because this type of visa
allows a
person to stay for longer, and enter the country more than
once,
it is also used by ordinary travelers who need more flexibility.
Note, that you must register your visa within 3 working
days (except Saturdays and Sundays and public holidays) after
entering Russia, or you will have problems upon leaving the
country. |
