What is a Russian Visa?
A visa to the Russian Federation is a document that allows you to stay in Russia for a specific period of time. It details your entry and exit dates, name, passport, and the purpose of your visit. It is important to remember that a Russian visa serves as both an entry and exit permit. Therefore, if you lose your visa or stay beyond your designated departure date, exiting the country can be more challenging than entering it.
