This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

Consular fees for traditional Russian visas vary by nationality, number of entries, urgency and any reciprocal fee arrangement with your country, and visa centres may add a separate service charge on top of the consular fee.

The unified electronic visa carries a single flat consular fee paid online at the time of application.

What affects the fee

  • Visa category and number of entries (single, double or multiple)
