Russian Visas
We specialise in providing Russian visas for people travelling from the UK to Russia. Our aim is to make visa service simple for you. This service provides you with an actual Russian visa ready to use for your trip. You will not have to stand in queues at the Russian consulate. We obtain all the necessary visa support documentation, check, prepare and lodge your application with the Russian consulate and pick up your passport with the Russian Visa when it has been processed.
Most foreign nationals, including British Citizens, are required to have the Russian visa to travel to the Russian Federation. Citizens of former CIS Republics, except Georgia and Turkmenistan, may enter Russia with their national passports. Unfortunately, we are unable to assist you with the tourist Russian visa if you are an American citizen, we could only obtain a business Russian Visa.
If you are in transit through Russia and do not leave the airport, then you will not need a Russian visa. However, if you are in transit and need to leave the airport you will need a Russian visa.
Please note that you will need to register in Russia. Basically, registration involves placing a stamp either in your passport or on your migration card and obtaining a registration slip. If you are going to stay in a hotel then hotel staff will do registration for you. If you are going to stay somewhere else, our partner company in Moscow will make registration for you.
