On September 1, 2021, a new law came into force in Russia. Now close relatives of Russian citizens can obtain multiple-entry private visas for up to 1 year. To receive them, you do not need to issue an invitation, as it was before.

Previously, regardless of the degree of kinship, only single-entry and double-entry private visas for up to 3 months could be issued.

From September 1, 2021, foreign citizens who are close relatives of citizens of the Russian Federation, may stay on the territory of the Russian Federation on a multiple-entry private visa, both in total and continuously during the entire validity period of the multiple-entry visa (that is, up to 1 year).

The original of the application, certified by a Russian notary, can also be sent by a citizen of the Russian Federation to his close relative, a foreign citizen by mail or transmitted to him in any other way and submitted by a foreign citizen to a diplomatic mission or consular office of the Russian Federation or to an official Russian visa center when submitting documents for obtaining visas.
