Discover visa requirements for your trip
Danish citizens need a visa for Russia; a unified e-Visa is applied for online on the official portal before departure. Check your ministry's travel advice beforehand.
Danish nationals cannot enter Russia without a visa: the country issues a unified electronic e-Visa to be requested online before travelling to Moscow or St Petersburg. This route normally avoids an in-person consulate submission for short tourist stays. The passport must stay valid at least six months and have blank pages.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, Danish citizens must obtain a visa for Russia. The unified e-Visa is applied for online at evisa.kdmid.ru before departure. Check the list of border posts that accept it and the permitted length of stay.
How and where to apply
Danish travellers complete the form at evisa.kdmid.ru, upload an ID photo and pay the fee online. The authorisation arrives electronically: print it and present it at the Russian border on arrival.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid six months beyond your entry date, a compliant photo and, depending on the purpose, medical insurance valid in Russia. The exact amount is not guaranteed here: it is shown on the official portal when you apply.
Processing and tips
The e-Visa is usually issued within a few working days; apply well ahead of departure to absorb any delay. Also consult the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs travel advice, as the regional situation may affect connections and access.
Common mistakes
Do not enter through a post not covered by the e-Visa: not all accept it. Re-read your personal details before paying — an error voids the authorisation — and do not overstay the granted period.
