FAQ

Common questions

Do Dutch nationals need a visa to visit Russia?

Yes. The Netherlands and Russia do not have a visa-free agreement for ordinary passport holders, so a valid Russian visa is required for any visit.

What documents are needed for a Russian business visa?

Typically: a valid passport, completed visa application, recent photograph, an official invitation from a Russian legal entity, and confirmation of travel insurance. Our team prepares and reviews the full set.

Which work permit route suits Dutch professionals best?

Dutch professionals employed at qualifying salaries typically benefit most from the HQS route: faster processing, no quota dependency, and a dedicated visa category.

Can my employer apply for my work permit on my behalf?

Yes — under Russian law, work permits for foreign nationals are submitted by the employing organisation, not the individual. We support employers through the entire filing process.

How long can I stay in Russia on a business visa?

Duration depends on the visa type and the invitation. Single-entry business visas are typically valid for 30 days of stay; multi-entry visas can cover up to 90 days per entry across a one-year period.

What happens if my visa expires while I am still in Russia?

Overstaying a Russian visa is a serious violation with significant legal consequences including fines and potential entry bans. Contact us immediately if you are approaching or have exceeded your authorised stay.
