The digital fingerprints scan is taken from December 10, 2014.
What does it mean?
As a part of the Russian visa processing all applicants applying in the UK will be required to appear in person at our London or Edinburgh Offices to have their fingerprints taken digitally. No appointment required. Fingerprints and personal applications are not required for children under 12 years of age.
For your convenience we will:
- Assist you with Russian Visa Application form
- Issue all documentation required by Russian Embassy
- Pre-check your application form and your supporting documents to avoid risk of any mistakes
- Take the biometric data
- Collection of Visa on your behalf
- Return delivery by the method of your choice
Getting a Russian visa is now a time-saving and traveller-friendly procedure.
Before arranging to visit Russia, people from most countries must apply for a Russian visa. Visas cannot be obtained at the border, so you are strongly advised to apply in advance in our offices in London or in Edinburgh.
Application forms must be filled in online, then printed out and signed by the applicants. The Russian Consulate decides on each application, and the payment of visa fees does not guarantee that a visa will be granted.
Here at the Russian National Tourist Office, you can order a single or double entry tourist visa valid for up to 30 days and a single/double business visa valid for up to 3 months, or a multiple entry business visa valid for 1 year.
