scotts visas

1.  Passport with at least 2 blank pages. The passport must be valid for another 6 months after the visa expires.

2.  Visa Application form, link below.

3.  One recent passport size photo glued to the indicated space on the application form.

4.  Invitation made up of tourist voucher & tourist confirmation. These must come from a Russian Travel Agency or hotel and must state the passengers' names, the places to be visited, the dates of entry and exit, that all services are paid for and be signed by an authorised person. They must show the agency's or hotel's registration number with the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The Consular fees quoted above include the outsourcing fee.

If you don't have an invitation (Tourist Confirmation + Tourist Voucher) we can provide it at a cost of £50 + VAT. 

If you don't know what this all means, please phone/email us and we will be happy to explain.

Important notice: It is not possible to have two different valid Russian visas in your passport at one time. The consulate will invalidate the first visa in order to authorize the new, second one.

The application form has to be filled in online. Before doing so, you will need to have to hand: your passport details; the details of any universities or other higher education establishments you have ever attended; the name and reference number of the Russian organisation which issued your Tourist Confirmation and Voucher (invitation); (you may want to contact us first if you are not sure where to look on the paperwork); the name of your travel insurance provider, a list of all countries you have visited in the last 10 years (the best way to address this is to go through all the stamps/visas in your passport).

After clicking through to the form below, please click agree on the first screen and continue, and the same on the second one. Then click Create Online Visa Application. On the next page, there are five questions, please answer

On the next page, please select Tourist as the type of passport. For purpose of visit, select Tourist, unless you have a "Tourism with a purpose" invitation, in which case select Special Purpose Tourism. Also select Single or Double according to your invitation. The dates of travel should also match your invitation.

You must answer every question; NA is no longer acceptable. For instance, "I haven't attended any educational institutions", if that is the case. Other tips: the form won’t accept any spaces in phone number boxes; it also won’t accept any hyphens or apostrophes.

After finishing entering the required information, choose yes or no as to whether you want to enter another application and continue. On the next screen, click "Agree" and continue. On the next screen, it is advisable to make a note of the "Web Reference No". On the next screen, choose "download/print" and the same on the one after that.

If you have any problems with the form, or your printer runs out of ink, or anything else, please contact us as everything is solvable.

If you are ready to go ahead, again it's best to contact us before sending your papers, just to confirm your needs and any specific instructions such as when and how you expect to receive your passport back.

There's no need to send any money now, we usually take a card number from you after the visa is issued and all is in order.
