Russian Tourist Visa

What is a Tourist Visa?

A tourist visa allows foreigners to visit Russia for holiday purposes or to participate in events. It is valid for a maximum of 180 days and cannot be extended. This type of visa is ideal if you have a fixed itinerary and know precisely where and how long you will be staying without diverting from your planned itinerary. For a tourist visa to Russia, you must provide proof of confirmed accommodation for each night of your stay in the country.
