Electronic visas will be launched in Russia from August 1, 2023, allowing Indian nationals to apply for their visa quickly and conveniently. The visa would allow entry into the Russian Federation on a guest, business, or tourist visit, and to participate in events. The term for issuing a single-entry visa would be no more than four calendar days and the consular fee would be around $40.

“This is a great initiative to boost tourism and ensure hassle-free visas for tourists without much documentation. Now, with E-Visa and direct Delhi-Moscow flights operated by Aeroflot Airlines, Russia is more accessible than ever. The e-Visa would be valid for 60 days and will allow travellers to stay in Russia for no more than 16 days.” Explained Mr Prashant Chaudhary, Managing Director, Salvia Promoters Pvt. Ltd. and Representative of Russian Union of Travel Industry in India.
