Russian business visa for Monegasque ordinary-passport holders

🇲🇨MonacoeVisa route for eligible ordinary-passport business visits

In short

Monegasque ordinary-passport holders are on the current unified eVisa list. For an eligible business visit within the official eVisa purposes and entry conditions, apply online for the eVisa rather than preparing a regular business-visa invitation. If the trip does not fit eVisa conditions, use the regular business-visa route. Russia's MFA says its Embassy in France represents Russia in Monaco concurrently, but contact that mission to confirm jurisdiction, appointment and whether it will accept your particular application; concurrent representation is not a guarantee of acceptance.

Monaco: eVisa route for eligible ordinary-passport business visits

Use the official eVisa portal for an eligible business visit. For a regular business visa, the MFA's France-concurrent-representation listing is a confirmation route only: ask the Embassy in France whether it can accept your application before preparing documents or making travel plans.

Documents Monegasque ordinary-passport holders will need

  • Valid passport or other travel document accepted by the Russian Federation, normally with the required validity and blank visa pages.
  • Completed visa application form in the format required by the responsible Russian mission.
  • Photograph or photographs in the format and number required by the responsible Russian mission.
  • Current consular fee and, where the mission's checklist makes it applicable, medical insurance.

Category-specific supporting document

  • MIA invitation, MFA invitation or MFA decision, as applicable.
  • An invitation issued by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, an instruction from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or a written invitation from a Russian legal entity, company, host organisation, or Russian national/local authority, as accepted by the responsible mission.

This local written-invitation route is published by the Russian Embassy in France and is not limited to cases where an international agreement expressly allows it. Confirm current intake and the applicable document form before filing.

How Monegasque ordinary-passport holders get a Russian business visa

  1. 1

    Check whether the business visit fits the unified eVisa

    Monaco is on the official eVisa country list. For an eligible business visit, use the official eVisa portal rather than a regular-visa invitation route.

  2. 2

    Apply online for an eligible eVisa business visit

    Use the official MFA eVisa portal and follow its current passport, photograph, insurance, fee, purpose and entry-point instructions.

  3. 3

    Use a regular business visa only when eVisa conditions do not fit

    For a trip outside the eVisa's stated purposes or conditions, prepare the business-visa supporting document and the common regular-visa documents.

  4. 4

    Confirm the French mission's acceptance before filing

    The Russian MFA lists the Embassy in France as concurrently representing Russia in Monaco. Contact it to confirm jurisdiction, appointment and intake for your case; do not assume concurrent representation guarantees acceptance.
