HOW TO APPLY FOR A RUSSIAN VISA

STEP 1: DETERMINE THE TYPE OF RUSSIAN VISA THAT YOU NEED TO APPLY FOR

There are, of course, various types of Russian Visas out there that you can apply for: a visa for business, a visa for transit, a visa for studying, a visa for marriage, etc.

For this particular guide, I will only be discussing the requirements for a tourist visa since it’s an experience that I’ve gone through myself.

If, however, you have a different situation or purpose of visit, it’s best that you contact the Embassy of Russia in the INDIA for more information.

STEP 2: PREPARE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS FOR YOUR APPLICATION

STEP 3: SUBMIT YOUR RUSSIAN VISA APPLICATION WITH THE EMBASSY

STEP 5: WAIT FOR THE RESULTS AND THEN CLAIM YOUR PASSPORT

APPLYING FOR A VISA? HERE ARE 4 IMPORTANT TIPS TO GET YOU APPROVED!

APPLYING FOR A VISA? HERE ARE 4 IMPORTANT TIPS TO GET YOU APPROVED!

I AM NO STRANGER TO VISA APPLICATIONS. — NATURALLY, PROCESSES AND INTERVIEWS WOULD ALWAYS BE ESPECIALLY RIGOROUS FOR US

#1 Accurate, Complete & Genuine Documents

#2 true, strong, & reasonable purpose of entry

#1 sufficient funds/ support

#4 proof of not overstaying

In my opinion, this is where embassies put most emphasis on — they really need you to be bounded to your home country, and that you have strong ties that will compel you to come back at the end of your stay. They definitely don’t want you aiming for ways to stay longer (illegally) nor aiming for ways to become an immigrant without going through the necessary procedures at your home country.
I understand that some procedures when applying for a visa would require a round trip ticket to be booked and presented — this would already be a proof that you won’t overstay, but I advise that you provide more evidences still since tickets are the most basic affirmation.

I dearly hope that these tips will help you! I wish you all the best of luck!

FINAL NOTE: Even with these pointers, remember to always check with your embassy first. Please also direct any clarifications and follow-ups to your applications to their office, and NOT to me; this is in consideration of the fact that they would always know more about your situation than me. Again: this article is merely a helpful guide for you.

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT guarantee that the pointers in this post will get you approved 100% when you’re applying for a visa. No one can give you a guarantee; not even a lawyer, a consultant, a travel agent, or an embassy employee. Anyone who says otherwise is most likely going to be a scammer.

Take note as well that even if you have a friend who has the same income as you do and who has acquired a visa that you are also applying for wouldn’t instantly mean that you will get the visa too. This is because every consulate considers a LOT of varying factors and the situation of your friend or any other person will not always be the same as yours.
