This type of visa is intended for those who come to Russia
for business purposes like exploring the business opportunities
in Russia, establishing business contacts, etc. But since
this type of visa allows longer stays, multiple entries and
other beneficiaries, it can also be used by ordinary travelers,
who need more flexibility.
A business Russian visa can be issued for 1 month, 3 months,
6 months or 12 months, and be either single-,
double- or multiple entry. It takes approximately the same
time for the consulate to issue this kind of visa as for a
tourist visa, but a business visa is slightly more expensive.
For a business visa, you will need a business invitation,
issued by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). Your
data can be submitted to the MFA either by a business registered
in the MFA or a travel agency. This is how an MFA invitation
looks (sample):
To obtain a business visa, you will need to submit the
following documents to the Consulate:
- A completed Russian visa application form
(one per person) - either for US citizens
or for the rest of the world countries
- National passport (original) valid for at least 6 months
after the intended date of departure from Russia.
- Three identical professional passport sized (3x4 cm) photos
on a white background. Pictures can be black-and-white or
color, preferably on matt paper. Please write your name
in capital letters on the back of the photos. One photo
should be stapled to the specially marked place of the application
form.
- A letter of invitation from the Russian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, or its Regional Representative Offices, or from
an authorized Russian host organization (We provide).
- An HIV test certificate is required for visas valid for
more than 3 months.
- Visa application charge.
This is a standard list of requirements for this type of
Russian visa. Some additional rules may apply in your country
of residence. Please, contact your nearest Russian Consulate
for complete information.
