Indian passport holders can use the applicable eVisa route for Russia. The exact eligibility can depend on travel purpose, passport conditions and itinerary.
Indian passport holders can use the applicable eVisa route for Russia.. The currently selected route is eVisa. when a named option is available. Apply only through the official evisa.mids.ru portal; avoid third-party services that charge extra. The e-visa is valid only for entry checkpoints and regions listed in the official conditions. Tourist visits are short; the e-visa does not authorize work, study or long-term residence. Customs, currency and electronics rules are strict; declare high-value items where required.
The current route is supported digitally. Krosz collects the information and documents online, then shows the applicable review and submission steps for Russia.
1. Choose Russia and confirm the travel purpose. 2. Add the primary traveller and any family members. 3. Scan each passport and confirm the extracted details. 4. Upload the personalised documents requested by Krosz. 5. Review the readiness result, correct issues and complete payment. 6. Krosz handles the supported electronic application and delivers the issued visa digitally.
Krosz delivers the issued electronic visa or authorisation through the customer account and the registered email address. Keep the original PDF offline and print it when the destination or airline recommends a paper copy.
The current verified route does not indicate physical passport handover. You can provide the passport information and digital documents required for the route; Krosz will flag any physical step if the authority requires one.
Passport biodata page meeting the validity shown on the official portal. Recent digital photograph meeting the upload specification. Approved e-visa PDF saved offline and printed where instructed. Confirmed accommodation, return or onward ticket and itinerary. Travel insurance and funds evidence supporting the planned stay.
Valid passport meeting the validity shown on the official portal. Also check airline, transit-country and onward-destination rules because they can be stricter.
Upload a recent colour photo with a plain background, clear facial features and no filters. Krosz should show exact dimensions or file rules only when they are confirmed for the selected route.
Yes, if it is sharp, evenly lit, uncropped and free from glare, fingers and shadows. Krosz checks readability and asks for a replacement when the passport MRZ, face or required text cannot be read reliably.
Processing time varies by route and government workload. Krosz shows a confirmed estimate when available and does not promise an unverified approval date.
Apply before non-refundable bookings become risky and leave time for document corrections. Use the processing estimate shown for the selected route plus a practical buffer for weekends, holidays and government delays.
Fees depend on visa type, entry count, processing option and traveller age. Krosz shows the payable amount before payment and does not invent a price when the official fee is unverified.
Government fees are generally non-refundable after submission. Any Krosz service-fee refund depends on the stage of the application and the refund terms shown before payment.
Each child needs their own passport, traveller record and entry permission when the route requires one. A parent or guardian can manage the child inside the same family application, but documents are checked per traveller.
Yes. Krosz supports multiple travellers in one customer journey while keeping a separate passport, photo, eligibility result and document checklist for every person.
Yes. Age, nationality, employment, sponsorship, relationship and previous travel history can change the checklist. Krosz personalises requirements per traveller instead of assuming one identical list for the group.
Do not assume visa on arrival is available. Use the route shown by Krosz for the current Indian-passport eligibility and verify any conditional exception before departure.
Use an approved entry region only supported by the e-visa. Some electronic permissions are valid only at designated checkpoints, so the intended arrival and exit points must match the route rules.
Entry count depends on the visa option issued. Confirm whether the approval says single or multiple entry before booking a side trip.
The current verified route shows a maximum stay of 16 days. The border officer may grant a shorter period, so check the admission record.
The current option records visa validity of 120 days. Visa validity is the window in which the permission can be used; it is not automatically the number of days you may remain.
Extension rules depend on the exact visa or entry permission and may require action before expiry. Do not rely on an extension until the relevant immigration authority confirms it.
Overstaying can lead to fines, detention, removal, future visa problems or an entry ban. Contact the relevant immigration authority before the permitted stay ends if travel is disrupted.
Insurance is mandatory only when the selected route or current entry rules say so, but comprehensive medical, cancellation and evacuation cover is strongly recommended. Krosz includes it in the checklist when verified as compulsory.
Most short-visit routes expect credible accommodation and return or onward travel. The dates, traveller names and destination should be consistent with the application and planned stay.
Some routes require financial evidence and border officers may ask how the trip will be funded. When required, Krosz checks that the statement is readable, recent and consistent with the traveller and itinerary.
Tell Krosz immediately. Some fields can be corrected before submission; after government submission, a correction, withdrawal or new application may be required and additional fees can apply.
Valid passport meeting the validity shown on the official portal. Renew first if the passport will not meet the rule for the application, arrival, stay and any onward journey.
Enter the name exactly as the passport and official form require; do not invent a surname. Single-name handling differs by destination and airline, so Krosz should route the application for manual review before submission.
A previous refusal does not always prevent a new application, but it must be disclosed when asked. Correct the underlying issue, provide consistent evidence and never hide a refusal or submit altered documents.
Use accurate passport data, clear documents, a credible itinerary, sufficient financial evidence when required and consistent answers across every traveller. Apply for the correct purpose and respond promptly to correction requests. Approval can never be guaranteed.
Use the status shown in your Krosz account and the updates sent to your registered email. If the authority requests more information, Krosz will show the correction or document request in the application journey.
Government processing can exceed estimates. Check the Krosz update, confirm that no correction request is pending and avoid submitting a duplicate application unless Krosz or the authority specifically advises it.
No. A visa or electronic authorisation permits travel to the checkpoint, but the airline and immigration authorities make the final boarding and admission decisions. Carry the supporting trip documents and answer consistently.

Russia visa guide
Indian travellers heading to Russia need to understand the entry route before booking. Here is a clear guide to the Russia visa for Indian citizens — whether you need one, the route, documents, fees and processing — based on the verified data shown on this page.
Russia visa requirements for Indian passport holders depend on the length and purpose of stay. Some Indian travellers can enter Russia on a visa-free or visa-on-arrival basis for short tourist stays; longer stays or other purposes require a visa arranged in advance. The confirmed entry route for Indian tourists is shown above when Krosz has verified it.
Where a visa is required, Indian citizens apply through the route set by Russia's immigration authority — commonly an eVisa, an ETA, a visa-on-arrival, or a sticker visa lodged through a consulate or visa application centre. The applicable route depends on the purpose and length of stay. Krosz shows the live route status above rather than assuming a fixed answer.
Russia visa fees for Indian passport holders vary by route, stay length and processing speed. An eVisa or ETA is usually paid online during application; a visa-on-arrival fee is paid on arrival in the accepted currency; a sticker visa fee is paid through the consulate or visa application centre. The confirmed fee and processing time are shown above when verified; otherwise they remain marked as being verified.
It depends on the length and purpose of stay. Short tourist stays may be visa-free or visa-on-arrival; longer or non-tourist stays usually require a pre-arranged visa. The confirmed route for Indian tourists is shown above when verified.
Russia visa fees vary by route. Krosz shows the confirmed figure on this page when it has a verified source; until then it is marked as being verified.
Processing depends on the route — electronic routes are typically faster than a sticker visa. The verified processing window is shown above when available.
