Virtually, all foreign nationals (except Ukraine and Belarus citizens) are required to obtain visas to travel to Russia. Russian Visa Guide, part of Red Empire Stay family, was born to help these international travelers easily understand what is specifically required of them in order to gain passage into Russia. In Russian Visa Guide, we use plain English only and work closely with most knowledgeable, Russia-oriented travel agencies, so that you can depart for Russia on a very short notice and not worry about compromising your personal data.

You may have heard terms such as Russian visa support, invitation, or sponsorship document, Russian visa entry/exit requirements, migration cards, registration stamp or abbreviations such as OVIR, PVU, MFA. Don’t worry if you do not understand their meaning. In the following pages, we will demystify these terms and familiarize you with Russian visa process from start to finish.
