If you are going to transit via Russia to any other country you need a Transit Visa. However, a Transit Visa is not required if you remain in the transit zone of the airport in order to catch an onward or connecting flight within 24 hours of arrival. Transit visas are normally valid for maximum of 3 days. In order to apply for a Transit visa you will require:
– Current passport which should be valid for a minimum of six months after visa’s expiration date and has at least 2 blank pages.
– Visa application form filled in.
– One recent passport size photo glued to the indicated space on the application form.
– Both the original and a photocopy of your confirmed air ticket to and from Russia.
– A valid visa (if required by that country) to the country you want to enter after leaving Russia.Find more information directly at:
