Applying for a business visa for Russia

Are you planning a business trip to Russia?  If so, it is important that you apply for a business visa for Russia.  In most cases a business visa is necessary to enter and stay in Russia.  It is possible to stay for a brief time in Russia without a visa if you are in transit, travelling from one country to another with a brief stopover in Russia.  If this is the case then you are not allowed to leave the international terminal of the airport through which you are travelling.  However, if your end destination is either Kazakhstan or Belarus, then a visa for transit is necessary and you will only be allowed a maximum of 24 hours between arrival and departure from the airport in Russia.  It is always advisable to check with your airline if a visa is necessary or not.

A business visa is a document with which you can show that you have official permission to enter and travel through a country to conduct business.  For EU passport holders travelling within the EU a visa is not needed, this is often not the case while travelling outside of the EU.  A business visa for Russia, for example, is needed.  Most people find that a business visa application for Russia is quite difficult.  The invitations needed are often written in Russian and the Embassy has extremely specific views on the requirements for business visas.  If you are applying for a business visa for the first time then the application process can seem extremely complicated.  The requirements for business visas can also be very different per country, or due to your nationality.
