Possibility of obtaining free visas after restrictions on entering Russia are lifted
Visas issuance by Russian consular missions was temporarily suspended pursuant to Government Directive No. 635-r of March 16, 2020.
After Russian missions abroad resume working on visas, foreign citizens will get an opportunity to obtain visas without having to pay any consular fees and processing costs if all the following conditions are met:
- the applicant’s passport has an unused single (double entry) visa effective not earlier than March 15, 2020;
- the applicant submitted documents giving grounds for issuing a similar or a visa for less visits for another time;
- the visa expires within six months after the Government Directive No. 635-r of March 16, 2020 is declared cancelled.
All these conditions must be met to get the relevant service.
Together with the documents giving grounds for obtaining a new visa the applicant should file a written application (in free form) to the head of the consular mission for exemption from the already mentioned payments because of an event of force majeure. In this case we will proceed from the decision taken by the Russian authorities that restricted entry into the territory of the Russian Federation that did not allow the person concerned to travel on the earlier issued visa.
