Private
Who is it for?
If the purpose of your trip to Russia is to visit friends or relatives, you can apply for a private visa. This type of visa allows you to stay in the Russian Federation for up to 90 days and can be valid for single or double entry.
Please note: You should first obtain an official invitation and only then apply for a Private visa. To obtain such an invitation your relatives or friends will need to present a photocopy of your passport and personal data to the local branch of the MI in Russia. Russian Consulates accept only original OVIR invitations (obtaining an OVIR invitation take up to 6 weeks!).
