Everything you need to know about Russia visas
A quick overview of the process and the most important documents.
General information about Russia visas
A Russia visa is required for Swedish citizens and the application is made before departure. In order for us to submit the application we need a power of attorney from you that is legalised by a notary public (not apostille).
The most common types are e-visa, tourist visa, business visa, visiting visa and transit visa. Your choice determines which documents are required and how long you can stay in the country.
In short, you need a valid passport, visa photo and relevant supporting documents (e.g. invitation, hotel voucher or insurance). For some visas additional documents are required, such as a business invitation or medical certificate.
We help you step by step: you order, upload documents and we review everything before the application is submitted to the authority. Have questions? Contact us or read our frequently asked questions.
