Russia Raises Visa Fees

The new Russian Government visa fees charged by the Embassy of Russia in Canada have risen dramatically.

All types of visas saw across-the-board price increases of 25% to 50%.

Tourists now pay a minimum visa fee of $176, rising to $453 for the fastest double-entry visa.

Businesses now pay a minimum visa fee of $176, rising to $806 for the fastest multi-entry visa.

While the fastest processing speed remains about three working days, the regular speed has dropped to nearly a month. With Canadian-Russian relations as bad as they are, do not expect this to get better any time soon.
