How to Get Your Russian Religious Visa

For holy trips, these papers must be shown:

An invite from the Russian Federal Migration Service's (FMS) local office or one from the Consular Department of Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Finished a visa application form at http://visa.kdmid.ru/ (see instructions).

One picture (see picture guidelines).

The passport must be good for at least 180 days after the visa expires.

Policy standards tell you how to get a copy of the insurance policy.

The consulate worker has the right to call the application to an interview and ask for more papers.

Here's some information:

Visas for religious trips can be single-entry or double-entry for up to 90 days, or they can be multiple-entry for up to 1 year.

No matter how many times the person enters, the total time in Russia on humanitarian visas for religious reasons cannot be more than 90 days in every 180-day period.

Multiple-entry humanitarian visas for religious reasons are only given when multiple trips to Russia are needed.
