- Russia
Travellers residing in the UK who wish to visit Russia require a Russian visa for tourism, business, or family visits. Russia’s visa process is distinct from Schengen visas and requires careful preparation to ensure approval. A Russian visa allows you to travel only within Russia unless otherwise specified for transit purposes.

📄 Documents Required for UK Applicants
Applicants must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended travel date with at least two blank pages. Key supporting documents include an official invitation letter (tourist voucher for tourism or a business invitation for corporate travel), confirmed flight bookings, hotel reservations, and travel insurance covering the duration of the stay. Additionally, a completed Russian visa application form and a recent passport-size photograph are mandatory. Employment letters, bank statements, or proof of studies may be required depending on your purpose of travel.
📝 A Smooth and Professional Application Journey
The process begins with obtaining an official invitation from a Russian travel agency, hotel, or host. Once you have the invitation, you must complete the Russian visa application form online and prepare all required documents. You then submit your application at the Russian Visa Application Centre in the UK or the Russian Embassy. During submission, documents are verified and any additional clarifications may be requested. After processing, your passport will be returned with the visa stamped, allowing entry to Russia.
⏳ Processing Time & Visa Validity
Russian visas from the UK generally take 7 to 15 working days, depending on visa type and peak periods. Tourist visas are usually single-entry for 30 days, while business visas can be single or multiple-entry for 30, 90, or 180 days depending on the invitation and application type.
