Overview
Russia Student Visa
A business visa is issued for travelers who visit Russia on official or private business. Business visas are the best option for visitors who do not know their exact itineraries, want to stay in Russia longer than 30 days or need to enter Russia on numerous occasions within a certain period of time. A business visa is also recommended for people taking special equipment into Russia or marketing materials for exhibitions and forums. In addition, GAN Visa recommend that all official speakers at any conferences obtain a business visa. Business visas to the Russian Federation may be issued with up to two entries and for up to 90 days. There are also multiple-entry business visas, valid for 6 or 12 months with unlimited entries/exits
Due to the strict cross checking and need of biometric data collected by the Russian embassy, It is now even more imperative that the Russia Business Visa application, supporting documents and payment be in complete conformance to consular requirements so as to avoid the potential rejection thereby avoiding subsequent visits, costs and inconvenience.
