India to Russia

For Indian citizens planning a trip to Russia as tourists, obtaining a visa is a mandatory step. The process typically involves applying for a tourist visa which generally permits a stay of up to 30 days, usually as a single entry. It is advised to start the visa application process well in advance of your planned departure date to avoid any last-minute complications.

Key Requirements for Indian Tourists:

• A valid passport with at least six months of remaining validity beyond your intended stay.
• A completed visa application form.
• Recent passport-sized photographs meeting specific requirements.
• Proof of onward or return travel, such as flight or train tickets.
• Confirmation of hotel booking or a visa support document.

While a formal health declaration is not usually required for entry, always check the latest advisories before traveling. For seamless communication and navigation during your trip, consider getting an eSIM for Russia. You can explore options at Yesim. Standard electrical outlets in Russia are types C and F, operating at 220V and 50Hz. Remember to keep emergency numbers handy: 101 for fire, 102 for police, and 103 for ambulance. While tipping isn't mandatory, a 5-10% tip for satisfactory service in restaurants is customary. Ensure all your travel documents are in order to ensure a smooth entry into the Russian Federation.
