Russian Visa Fees for Danish Citizens in 2026
The total cost of a Russian visa for Danish citizens consists of several components: the consular fee, visa invitation letter, travel insurance, and optional service fees. Here's a complete breakdown of all costs you need to budget for.
Consular Fee (Embassy/Consulate Charge)
The Russian consulate charges DKK 500 (tourist), DKK 500 (business) for processing a visa application from Danish citizens. This is a mandatory government fee paid directly to the consulate or visa center. Express processing (1-3 days) typically costs double the standard fee.
Visa Invitation Letter Cost
A visa invitation letter (also called visa support) is required for all Russian visa applications. Tourist invitations start from $18 and are delivered instantly by email. Business invitations cost $149 and take 5-21 business days to process. You can order both types online from GetRussianVisa.com.
Travel Insurance Requirement
Travel insurance with minimum €30,000 coverage valid in Russia is mandatory. Policies typically cost $15-50 depending on trip duration and coverage level. The insurance must cover medical expenses and emergency evacuation.
Visa Center Service Fee
If applying through a visa application center (VFS Global or similar) rather than directly at the consulate, expect an additional service fee of $25-45. This covers appointment scheduling, document checking, and courier services.
Total Cost Summary
For a standard tourist visa, Danish citizens should budget approximately: Consular fee (DKK 500 (tourist), DKK 500 (business)) + Invitation letter (from $18) + Insurance ($15-50) + Photos ($5-15) = Total from approximately $80-150 depending on options chosen.
