From August 1, 2023, the Russian Embassy in Turkmenistan introduces new rules for issuing visas. Now, in order to obtain a Russian visa, you need to fill out an electronic application form on the visa.kdmid.ru website and sign up for receiving documents in an electronic queue at q.midpass.ru.
Handwritten questionnaires are no longer accepted, according to the official Telegram channel of the Russian diplomatic mission.
The Embassy assures that such measures will help speed up and optimize the process of issuing visas to citizens of Turkmenistan wishing to visit Russia.
