Responsible Maria Ilyukhina, World of Transactions
You can apply for a visa in Moscow or another city where there are consular institutions. Depending on the country and other circumstances, a personal presence (but not necessarily) may be necessary. A standard package of documents for the Schengen visa is required:

  • a foreign passport (validity of the passport is 3 months at the time of return to Russia);
  • copies of the internal passport (pages with marks),
  • certificate from the place of work,
  • bank account statement on the status of funds,
  • photos 3, 5 x 4, 5 cm,
  • completed questionnaire.
