Russian Tourist Visa Application

Tell us what you would like us to do with your passport and visa after we have collected it from the consulate.

We can return this to your home, work or other address using a range of options. We use Royal Mail Special Delivery in the UK for guaranteed next-working day delivery, although you can select the Other courier' option if you would like to change this. If you opt for insurance, then we will ensure that your passport is sent with £2500 of consequential loss insurance in addition to the standard contents insurance.

We recommend 'Royal Mail International Delivery' for non-urgent international delivery where tracked and signed delivery is guaranteed. This can take up to 10 days but is much cheaper and the contents are insured for loss up to £500.

If you are travelling as part of a group and we are processing visas for your group, then we can return your passports together. Select 'Return with another passport' then enter the details of the lead person in the comments box. Please note that only the lead person should select the required delivery option.

If you are applying for more than one visa with us, you need only indicate (and pay for) your chosen delivery option in one application. Please select 'Multi-application (delivery option indicated in other record)'.

Finally, you can collect your passport and visa from our office in person or by sending someone with photo ID - to select this, choose 'I will collect from your office'.
