Visas and passports are required by all visitors to Russia. There are two popular types of Russian visa – the ‘tourist visa’ and the ‘business visa’. In most cases a tourist visa should be satisfactory — unless you are planning to be in Russia for longer than 30 days. In this case, you should apply for a business visa.
Three month tourist visas do not exist anymore. If you need to stay in Russia for longer than 30 days, the only option is to get a business visa. Business visas are valid for up to 12 months. A Russian business visa should be issued to people who are going to Russia for business purposes, but because this type of visa allows a person to stay for longer and enter the country more than once, it is also used by ordinary travellers who need more flexibility.

Please note: You must register your visa within 3 working days after entering Russia, or you will have problems when you leave the country.
