Confused About Russian Visa Types

[luckypenguin]

I’ve been looking into Russian visas recently, and I’m having a bit of trouble understanding the different types. Specifically, I’m not clear on the difference between a tourist visa and a business visa. Do the requirements change a lot depending on which visa you choose? I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been through this process and can share insights or point me to a reliable guide that explains everything clearly.

It’s totally understandable to feel confused about the different Russian visa types, especially with all the specific requirements for each. The major types are tourist visas, business visas, student visas, work visas, humanitarian visas, and transit visas. For a tourist visa, the process is relatively simple—you’ll need an invitation letter from a Russian hotel or tour agency, a travel itinerary, and proof of accommodation. A business visa, on the other hand, requires more paperwork, including an invitation from a Russian company or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and sometimes financial proof. I was in the same boat, and I found a great article that gives a clear breakdown of each visa type and the requirements you’ll need for your specific situation. You can check out the article https://reclaimdetroit.org . It’s a helpful guide to navigate the entire visa process!
