According to my guide on The Healthy Voyager, here’s the streamlined process for a Russian unified e-visa:

  1. Check that your nationality is on Russia’s eligible e-visa list
  2. Apply only via the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website
  3. Fill out the online form and upload:
    1. Valid passport (machine-readable, 6+ months’ validity)
    2. Recent JPEG photo
    3. Medical insurance covering your stay
    4. Debit/credit card details for the $40 consular fee (kids under 6 are free)
  4. Processing is usually within 4 days
  5. The visa allows one entry for up to 16 days, usable within 60 days of issuance, for tourism, business, private, or humanitarian purposes
  6. You can travel throughout Russia’s regions and enter via the listed air, sea, rail, and car checkpoints in the article.
