A 10-year visa?! TOP countries issuing long-term visas to Russians
Description:
Today, Russians are still able to obtain a visa to many countries around the world, despite some stricter rules and changes in document requirements. Moreover, some countries provide our compatriots with long-term tourist visas from 2 years or more.
Canada
Ten-year tourist visa? Yeah, that's possible. The Canadian government has long been issuing long-term visas, including for Russians. You just need to competently collect a package of documents and prove your financial viability - for this, a certificate from the place of work and from the bank is enough. Important point: your passport must be valid for another 10 years. Detailed requirements can be found on the official website of the Government of Canada. The fee for the visa is 100 CAD.
USA
Another country from the North American continent approves tourist visas for residents of Russia for several years ahead. During this time, you can tour all 50 states and see the main attractions of the United States - the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, the Grand Canyon, etc. You can stay in the state for up to 180 days. In 2024, the consular fee is $185.
The only difficulty when applying for a visa in the United States will be the interview. Since embassies in Russia are closed, our compatriots pass it in Armenia, Kazakhstan, Europe and Asia.
Britain
It is not easy, but quite possible to get a tourist visa to England. In this case, you choose the period on which the cost of collection depends. For example, a two-year visa will cost you $571. But remember: if the visa is refused, the fees will not be returned. The conditions for applying for a visa and the necessary documents can be specified on the official website of the migration service of the Kingdom.
Cyprus
Also, do not forget about the holiday in Cyprus. You can visit it if you have a Schengen visa of any country or with a national visa of Cyprus. The latter for Russians is usually issued with 99% of approvals. Most often - for the period specified by tourists.
To obtain a Cyprus visa, a standard package of documents is collected, as for other European countries. This includes: a foreign passport, a questionnaire filled in English, travel insurance, booking air tickets and a hotel for the duration of stay, a certificate from a bank, a certificate from work, and in the presence of an IP - an extract from EGRIP.
In the regions, for example, in the Krasnodar Territory, you can make an appointment to apply to the visa center of Cyprus in advance, via a mobile phone. In Moscow - only in a live turn. Already in the institution, you can only pay the fee and leave your package of documents for consideration, which according to the standard will take up to 15 working days.
sri Lanka
The most loyal among Asian destinations in issuing long-term visas for our compatriots is Sri Lanka. As in the case of the UK, you decide for how long you need the documents - a year, two or ten. At the same time, each entry should last no more than six months. You need to apply for a visa before arriving in the state on the website of the Sri Lanka Visa Application Center.
