Transit
Visa
This type of visa is for those who are traveling
to some other country via Russia and it is valid
for a short period of stay in the country that does
not exceed 72 hours. Usually, it is easy and inexpensive
to get a transit visa: the Russian Consulate will
issue it if you present a copy of your travel documents
and your visa to the country of destination (if a
visa is necessary). Visa Invitation is not required.
There are also single-entry and double-entry Transit
visas available. If you have some difficulties with
getting your transit visa, most probably it will
be easier to get a tourist one. Visa processing fee
is not refundable. Please, note, that drop off day
is not counted as business day! Visa processing starts
only after we have collected all necessary documents.
If you apply by mail, please, add one day to the
visa processing time. The Russian transit visa is
valid only for 3 calendar days. Any applicant may
be interviewed by a consular officer if necessary.
When you receive your visa please check it for mistakes
(passport number, date of birth, validity) and, if
necessary, return it to the Consulate for corrections.
The Consulate will not be responsible for any mistakes
in the visas, which were not brought to our attention
prior to your departure. Please, note that that visas
cannot be changed or extended. If your travel plans
changed after the visa issuance you have to reapply
for a new visa. Processing times, requirements and
fees are subject to change without notice.
To obtain a Transit visa the following documents
should be submitted to the Consulate:
- A completed visa
application form (one
per person) available at the Consulate
or from travel agencies and visa services.
See the

- A valid passport which should have
at least one clear page for a visa. Diplomatic
passport

data of the bearer
and original passport
- One passport
size photo of the applicant
which should be stapled to the marked space
at the upper right-hand corner of the application
form

visa of the country you are going to
and/or from.
