Russian Visa for Singaporean Citizens
Singapore citizens planning to visit Russia have two main options: the convenient e-Visa for short trips or a standard tourist visa for longer journeys. Whether you're exploring Moscow or conducting business, getting the right visa is your first step.
To receive a tourist invitation to Russia, please indicate your citizenship. You will be provided with a registration form. Fill in all the fields carefully, then proceed to the next step to confirm and pay for your invitation.
Do Singaporean Citizens Need a Visa for Russia?
Singaporean citizens are on the current unified e-visa list. The e-visa is single-entry, valid for 120 days and permits a stay of up to 30 days; no invitation is required. A regular tourist-visa route remains available for trips outside those limits.
The Russian e-Visa is highly recommended for Singaporeans taking a trip of 30 days or less. It requires no invitation letter and is processed entirely online. However, if you plan to stay longer, you must apply for a traditional tourist visa, which requires an official invitation letter (tourist voucher) from an authorized Russian travel agency.
