Check your route to Russia
Enter trip facts—not personal identity—to see whether the current published rules point to visa-free entry, the unified eVisa or a regular visa.
What this checker does—and does not do
The checker applies a versioned ruleset to the facts you provide. It is useful for choosing the next research or application step, not for guaranteeing entry or a visa decision.
Russian border authorities and consular missions make the final decisions. Recheck the official source near departure, especially if your passport, purpose, residence or itinerary changes.

Frequently asked questions
Is this an official Russian government visa checker?
No. VisaToRussia.org and RussianVisa.co are independent information services. The result links to the official Russian MFA or consular sources used for the underlying rules.
Does the checker need my name or passport number?
No. It sends only route-decision inputs: nationality, residence country when supplied, trip purpose, travel dates, number of entries and passport type.
Can the result replace advice from a consulate?
No. Rules and consular practice can change. Use the result as a planning aid, then verify the linked official sources and the Russian mission responsible for your application.
