Russian visa for Swazi citizens — applying in
China
Quick answer
A Swazi citizen in China does not normally need to visit a consulate — Eswatini is eligible for Russia's online e-Visa (about USD 52, issued in ~4 days). A standard visa, applied for at a Russian consulate in China, is only needed for work, study or longer stays.
