Do Australian citizens need a Russia Tourist Visa?

Yes. If you're an Australian looking to visit Russia, you'll need to secure a Russia Tourist Visa. This visa is a must-have for your journey.

An important step in the application process is getting a Russian Letter of Invitation. Also known as a Russian tourist voucher or a visa support letter, this document can be issued by a registered hotel or tour operator in Russia. It's your ticket to officially being invited to Russia for tourism purposes.

Understanding the Russia Business Visa

The Russia Business Visa is designed for travelers heading to Russia for business activities like meetings, conferences, or exploring business opportunities. However, you can't use this visa to work or look for a job in Russia.

When you apply, you'll need to provide a Russia Business Invitation Letter. Where you get this letter from in Russia depends on where you're from. The letter might come from:

The General Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
A visa directive from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Russian company you're planning to visit.
