am busy travelling through the middle east and would like to go all the way through to Russia. Turkey is my best country to try and get visas in but I will be on the road for at least 2 months after leaving Turkey before getting to Russia.

1) If I get a one month tourist visa in Turkey how long is it valid for after they issue it (how long do I have before I need to enter Russia?)

2) If I get a business visa, is it valid from time of issuing, or time of entry into Russia?

thanks

Hi,

1) All Russian visas have the period of validity specified on them. You can enter and leave Russia anytime within the specified time span. The tourist visas can usually be issued not earlier than 90 days before the visa validity starts.
So, in other words, you can't get a visa to Russia earlier than 3 months before your intended travel.

2) All visas are valid from the time specified on them as the visa validity start date. In your visa support application you can specify what dates your visa is valid for and that is what you will have.
