 3.  E-visa applicants are not required to submit an invitation letter, hotel
     booking confirmation or any other document confirming the purpose of their
     travel to the Russian Federation.
 4.  The unified e-visa entitles you to enter the Russian Federation and stay in
     the Russian Federation for private or business visit, tourism, as well as
     for participating in scientific, cultural, socio-political, economic,
     sporting events and carrying out relevant communications and contacts. If
     the purpose of your trip to the Russian Federation is none of the above,
     you have to apply to a diplomatic mission or consular post of the Russian
     Federation for a regular (not electronic) visa.
 5.  Foreign citizens arriving in the Russian Federation on the basis of a
     unified e-visa have the right to freedom of movement within the entire
     territory of the Russian Federation, except for visits to territories,
     organizations and facilities to which a special permit is required in
     accordance with federal laws.

 6.  The unified e-visa is a single entry visa. The validity period of a unified
     electronic visa is 60 days from the date of issue. The permitted period of
     stay in the Russian Federation on the basis of a unified e-visa within its
     validity period shall not exceed 16 days from the date of entry.
     
     ATTENTION! The permitted period of stay in the Russian Federation on the
     basis of a unified e-visa of up to 16 days DOES NOT IMPLY the possibility
     of staying for 384 hours net time (24 hours x 16). The day of arrival and
     the day of departure are counted as two days. We recommend using the visa
     calculator to calculate the permitted period of stay.

 7.  The period of validity of an electronic visa and/or the permitted period of
     stay may be extended only in cases where it is impossible to leave the
     territory of the Russian Federation due to the need of emergency treatment
     or unsurmountable circumstances (force majeure) or natural disasters.
 8.  Extension of the e-visa and (or) the permitted period of stay is carried
     out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation or its
     territorial bodies at the place of migration registration of a foreign
     citizen at the place of stay, and if there is no migration registration at
     the place of stay – at the place of actual stay by way of issuing an
     ordinary (not electronic) visa.
 9.  If you have a valid Russian visa in your passport, you do not need to apply
     for a unified e-visa. You can visit the Russian Federation with a regular
     visa within its validity period without the restrictions established for
     the unified e-visa. The validity of a regular visa cannot be extended by
     obtaining an e-visa.
 10. In order to apply for a unified e-visa, it is necessary to submit an
     application from your personal account on the specialized website of the
     Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia or through the Russian Foreign
     Ministry mobile application. The application can be submitted no earlier
     than 40 days and no later than 4 days before the expected date of entry
     into the Russian Federation.
 11. Before completing the unified e-visa application, you will need to give
     your consent to the automated processing, transmission and storage of the
     data in your application for the purposes of issuing a unified e-visa.
 12. A fee is charged for processing an application for a unified e-visa.
     Payment can be made on the specialized website of the Ministry of Foreign
     Affairs of Russia or through the Russian Foreign Ministry mobile
     application using Internet acquiring technology with bank cards of
     international payment systems (Visa, MasterCard, etc.) through the special
     website of the Russian Foreign Ministry or its mobile app using the
     Internet acquiring technology. The payment is non-refundable regardless of
     the result of the application processing. No consular fee is charged in
     case of e-visa applications for children under 6 years of age.
 13. Applications for a unified e-visa will be processed in no more than 4
     calendar days from the date of submission of the application. The date and
     time of the submission of the application shall be the date and time of
     sending the completed application for processing. In the case referred to
     in point 14, the date and time of the submission of the application shall
     be the date and time of sending the amended application for reprocessing.
     It takes no longer than 4 calendar days from the date of submission of the
     application for a unified e-visa for it to be processed. The date and time
     of sending the completed application for processing is considered the date
     and time of its submission. In the case referred to in point 14, the date
     and time of sending the amended application for reprocessing will be
     considered the date and time of its submission.
 14. The processing of applications and the issuance of unified e-visas are
     carried out by diplomatic missions or consular posts of the Russian
     Federation as designated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian
     Federation. If the processing of the application reveals that any of the
     information stated therein is incorrect, it will be no longer processed and
     be returned to you for editing with the fields to be corrected being
     indicated and comments. An application shall be returned for editing no
     later than two calendar days from the date of submission of the
     application. Use your personal account to correct the application and
     submit it for reprocessing. Processing of the application shall only be
     resumed after the amended application has been submitted for reprocessing.
 15. Indication of date, month and year of birth is mandatory when filling out
     the application form. If your full date of birth is not specified in your
     passport, the unified e-visa application cannot be accepted for processing.
 16. Your passport must be machine-readable and issued by your country of
     nationality. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the
     date of submitting the application for a unified e-visa. If your passport
     does not meet these requirements, the e-visa application cannot be accepted
     for processing. There must be sufficient space in your passport for border
     crossing stamps.
 17. If you are travelling with minor children indicated in your passport, a
     separate application for a unified e-visa must be submitted for each child.
     All minor children travelling with their parents must have a separate
     e-visa.
 18. The information you provide in your application must be complete and
     accurate. Any incorrect information may lead to the revocation of the
     already issued visa at the border crossing point of the Russian Federation
     or in the territory of the Russian Federation.
 19. Foreign citizens staying in the Russian Federation on the basis of unified
     e-visas are required to have a medical insurance valid in the territory of
     the Russian Federation for the entire duration of their stay, with the
     exception of citizens of the following foreign countries who are exempt
     from this requirement on the basis of reciprocity.
 20. A unified e-visa may be refused in cases established by the legislation of
     the Russian Federation.
