Visa rules and local procedures can change. Check the responsible Russian mission or MFA service before filing.
Select the mission you will use
The destination is not a cosmetic field. Canberra and Sydney are separate filing routes with separate instructions. Decide the route before completing the final form.
If the route changes, update the form rather than presenting a Canberra-addressed application in Sydney or the reverse.
| Field | Source |
|---|---|
| Submission destination | The selected Canberra or Sydney mission |
| Name and passport | Current passport |
| Dates and cities | Final itinerary and tourist support |
| Host and confirmation | Tourist confirmation/voucher |
| Purpose | The actual visa category |
Keep the form and support aligned
Use the same travel dates, entries, purpose and itinerary across the tourist support and application. If a material fact changes, correct the responsible document before filing.
Do not submit an old draft merely because an appointment is approaching. A consistent file is more important than a speculative speed claim.

Print, sign and follow the local checklist
The online form must be printed and signed. Canberra and Sydney then apply their own current photo, passport, tourist-support and local submission instructions.
The completed form does not guarantee the visa. The responsible mission can request additional information and makes the decision.
