Russia e-Visa application details

Prepare the application with fewer mistakes: check the passport, upload a compliant photo, enter travel data carefully and review everything before submission.

Passport

The document must be easy to read

The passport bio page should be shown in full, without glare, cropped corners, shadows or blur.

  • Machine-readable passport with MRZ
  • At least 6 months of validity at application time
  • Full-colour scan or photo of the bio page
  • At least one blank page for border stamps
Photo

Use a document photo, not a selfie

The image is used for identification, so background, face position and natural appearance matter.

  • Taken within the last 6 months
  • Face forward, eyes open, mouth closed
  • Plain light background without shadows
  • No retouching, filters, glare on glasses or extra objects
Form

Application data must match the passport

Small mistakes in name, passport number or dates can cause correction requests or travel problems.

  • Name and surname exactly as in the passport
  • Passport number without spaces or extra marks
  • Correct purpose of visit
  • Planned entry and exit dates
Entry

The route must use an approved checkpoint

The e-Visa is accepted only at approved airports, seaports, railway, road and other border checkpoints.

  • Check the entry point before buying tickets
  • Keep the e-Visa notice on your phone
  • Carry a printed copy for carrier checks
  • Standard passport control still applies at the border
