Russian visa for Burmese citizens — applying in
Armenia
Quick answer
A Burmese citizen in Armenia does not normally need to visit a consulate — Myanmar 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 Armenia, is only needed for work, study or longer stays.
How Burmese citizens apply for a Russian visa in Armenia
Your Russian visa route is decided by your nationality (Myanmar), while where you apply (Armenia) decides which Russian consulate and visa application centre handle your file, the local service fees and the processing logistics. Below are the consulates and centres in Armenia, the costs and the documents you will need.
Unified e-Visa (online)
As a Burmese citizen you can skip the consulate entirely and apply for Russia's unified e-Visa online — no invitation, no consulate visit, even while you are in Armenia. Processing takes up to 4 days and the e-Visa allows a single entry and a stay of up to 30 days.
Apply for the e-VisaVisa-free entry
Holders of an ordinary Myanmar passport can travel to Russia for tourism for up to 30 days without a visa. For longer or non-tourist trips, apply for a standard visa at a Russian consulate or visa centre in Armenia.
Standard visa (consulate / visa center)
For stays beyond the visa-free period, or for business, work or study, Burmese citizens apply for a standard visa in Armenia.
