Consular Section Informs

The visa application center in Manchester is temporarily closed.

Dear visitors! Please be informed that the Consular Section of the Embassy of Russia will be closed on 7-8 March for a national holiday.

Due to arising questions from those who want to fly from the UK to Russia at the period of imposed restrictions on the using of the European airspace, we recommend considering the possibility of purchasing air tickets for transit flights on the alternative routes with connections in the third countries.

The Agreement between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of Belize on conditions of the waiver of visa requirements for holders of Russian and Belize passports entered into force on 12 January 2022.

Starting from 1 February 2022 the online appointment system for consular services will change. Previously, the booking schedule was open for two months ahead. But according to our practice, due to high demand the appointment system was filling quickly just in a few days. Afterwards, we have faced many no-shows while the system was fully booked.

Dear visitors, In view of the New Year and Christmas holidays the Consular section will be closed from 31 December 2021 till 9 January 2022.

Express tests on COVID for passengers, both Russian and foreign nationals, arriving from the UK.

In view of improving the quality of service starting from 9 December an electronic queue has been introduced in the premises of the Consular Section.

Due to the requests on visa matters to the Consular Section of the Embassy we would like to remind you

Rospotrebnadzor took the decision to limit starting from 8 December the PCR-test validity period.
