Citizen of the Russian Federation can enter or exit Russia only with a valid Russian passport.
Citizens of the former USSR republics which have bilateral visa-free agreements with the Russian Federation (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan) enter Russia with their national passports or other documents, mentioned in these agreements.
If you changed your passport and the new passport does not contain a valid Russian visa you should transfer your valid Russian visa into the new passport. To do that please apply to a consular office where you have received the visa.
Be advised that a person cannot have two valid Russian visas at a time. If you are applying for a new visa before the end of the period of the validity of a previous one your previous visa must be cancelled.
The payment does not guarantee the issuing of a visa and is not refunded. Type of a visa or dates of entry/departure as well as the date of issuing a visa cannot be changed.
Once the application is accepted, a numbered receipt indicating the pick-up date is issued. Make sure to keep it.
After the visa is received it should be checked by the Applicant (passport number, date of birth, term of validity) and, if necessary, returned to the Consular section for corrections. The Consular section assumes no responsibility for any discrepancies in visas, which have not been brought to its attention prior to the departure from Iceland.
Providing false or misleading information, or failing to give relevant information in your application form, or to a consular officer, can be the reason for the application to be refused.
