Russian E-visa Entry and Exit Checkpoints

Find the approved border crossing for your journey to Russia

Travellers holding a unified Russian e-visa must enter and leave the country through a government-approved border checkpoint. Check both ends of your itinerary before making travel arrangements. This page groups the permitted crossings by transport type; current border arrangements should also be checked before travel.

Our Russian e-visa information page explains eligibility, the application process and available visa support.

International flight arrivals: Using an e-visa is generally straightforward at the approved international airports shown below. Make sure that your arrival airport and the airport you leave from are both included.

Arriving by car or motorbike: Not every land crossing accepts the unified e-visa. Review your route carefully and match your planned arrival and departure points against the road checkpoints below.

Checkpoint not included? If you intend to use a crossing that is absent from the approved list for a tourist visit, obtain a standard tourist visa.
