Why go

Separate permission to enter Russia from the practical details of reaching it. A flight connection, an airport transfer and a stay in the country raise different questions. Checking each stage with the relevant Russian consular authority and carrier helps expose a missing requirement before you book.

Useful to know

  • Ask the Russian consular authority about your passport, trip purpose, transit itinerary and supporting documents.
  • Confirm the exact arrival airport and any transfer with the carrier before booking a connection through Moscow.
  • Check Russian customs guidance for valuable instruments, antiques and currency before deciding what to carry.
