From August 1, 2023, foreign citizens will be able to obtain a single electronic visa for trips to Russia, according to the Telegram channel of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
To obtain a unified electronic visa, you must submit an application on the specialized website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (electronic-visa.kdmid.ru) or through a mobile application no later than 6 days before the expected date of entry. The application must be accompanied by a digital photo and a scan of the passport. No other documents are required.
A single electronic visa gives the right to a single entry into Russia and stay in the country for no more than 16 days out of 60 days of the visa validity period. With a single e-visa, you can come to Russia on a tourist, guest and business visit.
The report also notes that uniform electronic visas are valid for entry and exit from Russia by any type of transport, as well as without the use of vehicles through certain checkpoints on the state border of the Russian Federation.
