Russia E-Visa Support
Complete guidance through the Russian unified e-visa application — from eligibility check to submission review and status tracking.
Turkish citizens are fully eligible for the Russian unified e-visa — and unlike EU travelers, they can still fly direct: Turkish Airlines and Aeroflot connect Istanbul with Moscow daily. That makes Turkey one of the easiest countries to travel to Russia from.
What you need
Most refusals come from the photo and from small mismatches between the form and the passport — see our guide to rejection reasons.
Getting there
The simplest route is a direct flight from Istanbul to Moscow (Sheremetyevo or Vnukovo) — both airports accept e-visa holders. The land route via Kaliningrad is mainly interesting if you are already traveling in Europe and want to continue east overland.
