Visa & entry
Indian passport holders can apply online for Russia's unified e-visa at the official site evisa.kdmid.ru. Since August 2025 it allows a single entry and a stay of up to 30 days, is valid for 120 days from issue, and costs about USD 50 (children under 6 free). A decision usually comes within 4 working days; we suggest applying 2–3 weeks before travel. No invitation letter or hotel voucher is needed. Print the e-visa and carry medical insurance valid in Russia. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the visa's end date and have two blank pages. Your hotel registers your stay with the migration authorities. A visa-free scheme for Indian tour groups has been discussed by both governments but was not in force at the time of writing, so plan on the e-visa.
Good to know
Indian Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards do not work in Russia, and international forex cards usually do not either. Carry enough cash in US dollars or euros (clean, new notes) and exchange it for roubles at banks or official exchange counters.
WhatsApp has been blocked on Russian networks since February 2026. It may still work on Indian international roaming, but share your hotel phone numbers with family before you leave.
Moscow and St Petersburg airports are sometimes closed for a few hours for security reasons, which can delay flights. Keep a buffer before connecting flights.
Indian restaurants, including vegetarian ones, are available in both cities. Russian food that suits vegetarians includes blini (pancakes), mushroom dishes, potato pirozhki and syrniki.
The Kremlin closes on Thursdays, the Hermitage on Mondays and the Peterhof Grand Palace on Mondays. We plan the days around these closures.
Carry your passport, visa printout and hotel registration slip at all times; police can ask to see them.
