Russian Visa Application Form

Travel to Russia

Good Evening All

Firstly i would like to thank you for a very informative and easy to navigate website.

I am a U.K Citizen who is married to a Russian Citizen(also holds U.K Passport).

I have not visited Russia since 2019 (Covid).I have been trying to print out my Online Application Form and this is showing as 6 Pages long. I believe this should only be 2 pages long with the Russian Crest on the top left hand corner of the first page. Checked previous applications some are 6 pages long, others with the crest are 2 pages long.

Any information would be greatly appreciated,

Kind Regards

Adam

Hi Phoebe

Much appreciated! Do you know if I need to make an appointment at 137-139 Goswell Road( Site was formerly Gee Street). I’m finding it very difficult to obtain any information or do you turn up and get a ticket as used to be?

Any Information greatly appreciated

@Adam The new visa centre is around 100 metres further down the road to the old one. They no longer accept walk ins due to security, you have to book an appointment.

Any other questions don’t hesitate to ask

@phoebe Thanks Tim, The process is as clear as mud! I really appreciate you answering the forum posts, if it was not for my Elderly Mother in law whom I have not seen since covid I probably would not visit!
The Family have been holidaying together in a mutually acceptable country since the “ Special Military Operation “.
Anyways Tim thanks for your offer, if you require anything from England drop us a post I will endeavour to get it to you!
Previously helped a few people on the RealRussia.co.uk forum which had a very good Community.
Family in Russia resides in Zelenograd.

Regards

Adam

@Adam I am currently in Kaliningrad myself as its deemed a bit safer with easy crossing to Gdansk in Poland. I’ve only just returned here again as I left Moscow and lived in Turkey and Georgia for 2 years as soon as the troubles started. I wouldn’t recommend visiting here only in emergency situation as sanctions make it difficult for foreigners with money etc

Just an update, used the pre checking service and then visited Russian visa centre in London. Staff were happy I used the pre checking service.They were very helpful and professional.
Was in and out in 10 Minutes.
Used the express service and received passport with Visa back very Quickly!

Yes agree Adam never had an issue with the London office, now they have appointment only and check everything is correct before processing.
