Discover visa requirements for your trip
Romanian travellers must obtain a unified electronic visa (e-Visa) online before going to Russia. The application is completed on the official portal before departure.
Russia issues eligible Romanian nationals a unified electronic visa, applied for online before travel. From Romania, the application is made on the official portal of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The passport must stay valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Romanian citizens need a visa to enter Russia. For short tourist, business or humanitarian stays, the unified e-Visa avoids the traditional consulate filing, provided you enter through a crossing point that accepts the e-Visa.
How and where to apply
From Romania, log in to the official portal evisa.kdmid.ru, fill in the online form, upload a compliant photo and pay for the process. No physical consular appearance is required for the unified e-Visa. The approved authorization is sent electronically, to be printed and shown at the border.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended entry, a compliant passport photo and, where applicable, travel medical insurance. The exact amount and validity of the unified e-Visa are set by the official portal: check it there for the current fee. On the same source, confirm the list of entry points that accept the e-Visa.
Processing and tips
Processing of the unified e-Visa usually takes a few business days: apply sufficiently in advance, but not too early, as validity runs from a set date. Keep the e-Visa printed. Check that your entry point is among those accepting this electronic visa.
Common mistakes
The main pitfalls: presenting the unified e-Visa at a border post that does not accept it, entering a wrong passport number, or overlooking medical insurance if it is required. Make sure the name and data entered match the passport exactly and confirm the entry conditions in force on the official source before you travel.
