→ Russia visa for Belgian citizens
Belgian citizens planning a trip to Russia can readily apply for an e-visa online, streamlining the entry process for stays up to 16 days. This digital option, typically costing around €50, covers several travel purposes, including tourist, business, and transit, in addition to other available categories. However, prospective travelers should note that due to current air travel restrictions, direct flights from Brussels to major Russian cities like Moscow or St. Petersburg are suspended, necessitating indirect routes through third countries and significantly impacting journey times. Prepare for a more circuitous travel experience and consider checking the latest exchange rates for the Russian Ruble before departure.
