Instructions for applying for a visa to Russia
Visit:
Complete all fields in the online application and if in doubt use the help we provide.
Use Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader for the online application form. Filling out the online application form alone is not enough to get a visa. The application must be printed out and submitted in person or by post. The online application form must be signed on the second page. Only passport photos are accepted: (3.5cmx 4.5cm) In order to overcome the difficulties in obtaining the photo for the application, we offer you to have the pictures taken in our office at a price of 10 € for 4 pieces. The visa is valid from the date of issue. The issuance, duration, number of entries of the visa and the timely return of the passport are subject solely to the Russian Consulate General. Consular fees and services, once paid, will not be refunded. We only accept cash payments for personal applications and bank transfers for postal applications. Collection can take place either in person or by an authorized representative. The authorized representative must be able to identify themselves and present a power of attorney, signed by the applicant (fill in sheet, for printing out, down below).
Collection can take place during the general opening hours of the responsible branch without an appointment.
