 Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 8:40 am Post subject: Transit Visa Question |
 |
|
This question is probably going to seem kind of stupid, but because this is my first time leaving the country, i want to make sure i have all the bases covered before it's too late. I recently received my Russian Tourist visa, and i have all of my documents ready to embark on my first trip to Russia. However, i was wondering about the transit visa, and if i would need it to go along with my tourist visa. I'll be flying from Chicago to London, from London to Moscow, and from Moscow to Kazan, but i read on the US department of state website that even if i land in Moscow to change planes, i need to have a transit visa with me or else i will be turned away and denied entry into the country. Can anyone confirm this? Even though i already have my tourist visa, is it necessary to also have a transit visa to show border control for when i'm changing planes in Moscow?
Every question that i've asked so far on this site has been answered, and i am extremely grateful. I hope someone is able to answer this for me as well. Thanks in advance. |

| A transit visa is for someone coming from outside of Russia and catching a connecting flight in Russia to a destination also outside of Russia. For eaxmple New York to Moscow to Mumbai (India). Your tourist visa is all you need. |

Great. Thanks so much for the quick reply camarks. I'll be leaving on my first trip to Russia next month, and i couldn't be more excited. This is a great site, and it's one of the main reasons why i felt comfortable traveling to Russia. Thanks again. |
