Permission to enter the Russian Federation is a courtesy of the State. Visa can be denied if the Consular section has reasons to believe that the Applicant's visit to the Russian Federation is not desirable, and the disclosure of the reason for the denial can be withheld.
In accordance with the International Law the Consular section in certain cases reserves the right to consider your visa applications for a longer period.
All paperwork once submitted is not subject to any change of the announced visa processing period or the period of stay in Russia indicated in invitation available at the moment of submission.
If applicant needs to make changes in submitted paperwork, all documentation will be returned to applicant for resubmission.
Visa extensions are not possible. If visa requires extension the applicant should reapply for a new visa.
On the basis of reciprocity, non-Israeli citizens may apply for a visa to Russia at the Russian consular missions in Israel only if they are permanent residents of the Jewish state. In all other cases they have to apply for a Russian visa at the Russian consular missions in the state of their origin.
All documents must be submitted at one time. Uncompleted sets will be returned to the applicants without processing. We don't accept documents by fax, post or email.
After the visa is picked up it should be verified by the traveler (spelling of the name, dates of travel, passport number, date of birth) and, if necessary, returned to the Consular section for corrections. The Consular section will not be responsible for the errors in visas, which were not brought to our attention before departure from Israel.
