Thanks for watching! Hope this helps shed some light on the Visa process for Russia. If you have any questions -- feel free to ask and we will try to help!

[@castlecoins5528]

Now everything is much simpler! In Vladivostok, Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg you can get an electronic visa! evisa.kdmid.ru/en-US/Home/Instruction

[@maxzarubin2353]

Thanks a lot for this video! Hope it will helpful for somebody and we will see more tourists. In Russia we all know how shitty this process and that it is the very first and main reason why we have less tourists than could be.

[@WheresWilsons]

You are most welcome! We hope it helps someone!! It's not too hard, just long and tedious, so it's nice to have a guide to follow. We found having a guide really helped us.

[@yvr2002rtw]

Before applying, you might also want to check if you are eligible for a passport in another country whose citizens get visa-free access.

[@WheresWilsons]

yvr2002rtw that is a good point too, yes. Thanks for your input!

[@paulava7729]

Приезжайте еще. Скоро введут электронную визу по всей территории для 53 стран. Можно посмотреть юг России. Город Сочи влажные субтропики или Крым город Ялта сухие субтропики. Крым вообще горячий контент, так как там мало кто из иностранных блогеров бывал. Сочи хороши еще зимой можно кататься на лыжах, там очень высокие горы и зимой в горах много снега. Удачи )

[@WheresWilsons]

Thank you! We will be back, we really want to visit many places like Sochi and Crimea and the south :) see you again soon!!

[@Marat_Kazey]

[@Сигизмунд-с2й]

@@WheresWilsons OOOps !!!!! 53 countries - that's true...except citizens of USA, Canada, UK and NZ - they will not not be allowed to get e-visa to Russia. So your video will be helpful for a long time.

[@WheresWilsons]

Сигизмунд good to know! And it still applies for the rest of the country for those not necessarily just going to St Petersburg. Thanks again!

[@Ahuntsicspotter]

The immigration form is given by the flight attendants on board of the plane.

[@WheresWilsons]

We did receive these on the flight, I believe, yes. And you have to keep one copy with you throughout the duration of your trip (hotels will photo copy it too) and they take one copy when you first go through customs.

[@Ahuntsicspotter]

@@WheresWilsons They will ask when you will leave the Russian soil.

[@WheresWilsons]

@@Ahuntsicspotter Correct.

[@Ahuntsicspotter]

@@WheresWilsons They gave it to you after take of from Zurich.

[@WheresWilsons]

@@Ahuntsicspotter I don't really recall the exact time of the form being handed out, actually. But it was at some point on the flight, I am pretty sure!!

[@ColKorn1965]

Step 1: Send somebody money for an invitation Step2: Send somebody else more money for the priveledge of filling out a form. Step 3: Wait

[@WheresWilsons]

lol! This is basically true!!

[@a-pr8815]

check embassy working time (restricted hrs to apply for visas), i had to go twice cause first time was late

[@WheresWilsons]

Yeah, they have restrictions on embassy visa processing times, that is a good tip for everyone to note. Thanks!

[@a-pr8815]

@@WheresWilsons and you should ask for sev more days than you planned to stay. In case your flight is delayed and visa expired.

[@WheresWilsons]

@@a-pr8815 this is true, we heard that as well.... as if you miss your flight, you can get in trouble with staying for too long. Thanks for the tips!!

[@a-pr8815]

@@WheresWilsons no, if you are too late for border control and your visa expired. Everybody must have an embassy number in case of such situations
