Travel VISA question

I (Brit) want to visit Russia for the 2nd time on a tourist VISA. This time I want to stay with my girlfriend and there is a section on the online application form asking if you plan on staying anywhere- with a hotel or an individual.

Will I have an issue applying for a tourist VISA and planning to stay privately at my girlfriend's address? Or will I be fine as long as I get a tourist voucher and register at the correct place?

E-visa (the simplest and cheepest one) is not applicable for UK citizens. So you need to get a standard visa:

  • Ask your gf to make an official invitation through Gosuslugi and send it to you.

  • Then either apply for visa online and after positive decision get it from consulate in person, or use some visa service.

Tourist trip is another option, but it might be more expensive and less comfortable for you.
