Important notes from organizing committee about e-Visa:

  • An e-visa issued for a visit Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad region and is not valid for visits to other regions of the Russian Federation.
  • E-visa can be used for entering and leaving the Russian Federation only at special checkpoints.
  • Please be very careful with your name spelling! Even one incorrect letter or digit in your passport details is a reason for denying entry into the Russian Federation and cancelling your visa at a checkpoint.
  • The allowed period of stay in the Russian Federation of up to 8 days under an e-visa does not imply that one can stay for the entire 192 hours (24 hours multiplied by 8). The day of entry and the day of exit are counted as two days.
