TRANSIT VISA
This visa is meant for those who travel to a third country through the territory of Russia. There are
two types of transit visa: one-entry and double-entry.
An invitation is not required when applying for a transit visa. Transit visas are issued on the basis of shown flight-/train tickets and a valid visa to the country of final destination (if required).
The presence of an entry visa to the neighbouring state is not required for citizens of this state, as well as to citizens of countries eligible for visa-free travel to neighbouring countries in accordance with existing agreements between the countries.
Transit visas are issued for a period necessary for transit through the territory of the Russian Federation, or for transit-flights, in accordance with the tickets and the right to stop at the point of transfer for no more than three days. The calculation time for transit vehicles is determined by dividing the distance between points of entry and exit to the daily mileage of 500 kilometres.
A transit visa is not required for a stay not exceeding 24 hours in the international zone of the Russian airport, to transfer to another plane.
If you are unable to meet these conditions, we recommend you to apply for a regular tourist visa.

A Private visa is a special kind of visa, made on the basis of an invitation that is issued after the personal request of a Russian citizen, or a foreigner with a Russian residency permit.
A Private-(guest) invitation is issued on the letterhead of the Federal Migration Service (FMS). In this case the inviter must apply in person and provide evidence that he/she is able to provide normal living conditions for the guest during the entire time the guest spends in Russia. The period of validity of this visa is maximum three months.

From March 12, 2010, spouses and minor children of Russian citizens legally residing in the Netherlands travelling to Russia together with their Russian relative can get a private visa on the basis of a facilitated procedure. In this case, a standard private invitation issued by the Russian Federal Migration Service is not required anymore.

GROUP VISAS FOR RUSSIA
Group visas for Russia are usually just tourist visas for larger groups. Tourist-Group visas are issued
for a period up to one month to tourists entering the territory of the Russian Federation as part of an organized tourist-travel program. The group size should be at least 7 people.
A tourist group visa can be single-entry, which allows foreign citizens to cross the Russian border once at their arrival and once at departure, and double-entry, allowing to enter and to leave the Russian Federation twice.
A group of foreign travelers, who come to Russia as tourists, must have a contract for the provision of tourist services and the proof of admission from the provider of tour operator activities.
Group visas give a great opportunity for tourists to save money on their trip to Russia. At RNVB you will receive an official invitation and the visa itself at a significant discount.
