Transit Visa
If a person wish to travel through a Russian territory to another country he needs a transit visa. To apply for a transit visa an applicant should submit to the Consular section:
- Completed visa application, a national passport, one passport size photo, paid travel insurance (see points 1-4 of the General Information);
- A valid visa for the country you intend to enter after crossing the Russian territory;
- The original and a copy of your confirmed air ticket to and from Russia (not the confirmation of booking).
Please note that a transit visa is not required if you remain in the transit zone of the airport in order to catch an onward or connecting flight within 24 hours of arrival. Transit visa is normally valid for maximum of 3 days.
Important! Consular section can issue a transit visa only in case if a person doesnn’t have a possibility to travel directly from the country of his origin to the country of destination.
