Application for a Russian Visa:
All You Need to Know
An application for a visa to Russia is a process anyone who desires to travel there must go through. It is required to have such a visa to be allowed to enter and stay in the country.
However, many people who want to apply for a Russian visa from Dubai and other UAE cities do not fully know the intricacies of this process. As a leading visa assistance company in Dubai, to answer all their questions, we have compiled this guide.
How long will it take to process my application?
It depends largely on the type of visa you want to obtain. The easiest and quickest one is the tourist visa which allows you to visit Russia for recreational purposes. It takes about 3 to 5 working days for your application to be processed.
However, if you need a business visa as you plan to conduct business dealings in that country, the waiting time will be longer. Based on the duration of your desired visa, you can expect it to take 10 to 14 working days (if you need a short-duration visa; valid for 1 to 3 months) or anywhere from 14 to 30 working days (if you require a multiple entry business visa that lasts for 1 to 5 years).

The list of documents you will need to provide for your application to be considered is quite standard. It includes:
- Your passport (original). It must remain valid for no less than 6 months counting from the day of application.
- Your resident UAE visa. Its validity must be no shorter than 3 months.
- 1 additional photo, passport-sized. All other requirements to the photo also match those to the one needed for a passport.
In some cases, extra documents may be required. Our company will determine them and let you know well in advance if you need any.
Can I obtain a Russian visa by myself?
While it is possible to do so, it would require extensive knowledge in the field of Russian immigration laws. As with any country’s legal system, these are all subject to change and update at practically all times. Therefore, trained specialists whose work it is to be in the know and who constantly engage in the visa application process substantially raise the chances of the applicant to receive their visa on the first try and without any delays.
