Business visa for Russia

People who visit Russia for business are supposed to be granted this type of visa. But regular visitors who require more flexibility select this form of visa because it allows extended stays, numerous entrances, etc. A business Russian visa may be single, double, or multiple entry with a validity period of one month to twelve months. A person with multiple 1-year business visas is permitted to continuously stay in Russia for up to 90 days every 180 days. So, for example, if you remain for three months straight, you can only return to Russia in three months.A business visa is slightly more expensive than a tourist visa, but it takes the embassy about the same amount of time to grant one. The cost varies depending on processing speed; typically, it's $80-$90 USD for 5–7 days and $150 USD for 2 days. At the Russian consulate where you apply, you can get the actual prices.
