Current news

The Russian consulate will be open 3 days a week from 04.06.2021 - MONDAY, WEDNESDAY and FRIDAY

The processing time from 04.06.2021 is as follows:

• Normal processing             5 consular working days (approx. 1.5 weeks)
• Express processing            2 consular working days (MO-MI, MI-FR, FR-MO) - this is only possible with an official FMS invitation

From June 10, 2021, Austria will also be on the list of exempt countries. Austrian citizens will therefore be able to apply for a regular Russian business or tourist visa again from June 10, 2021. It will no longer be necessary to obtain an exemption (FSB exemption list) for the business or tourist visa. The business or tourist visa and the Austrian passport entitle the person to enter Russia if it is a regular direct flight from Austria or one of the countries listed below to Russia. Austrian Airlines and the Russian airline Aeroflot are already launching regular direct flights (scheduled flights) between Austria and Russia with effect from June 10, 2021. The only additional requirement remains a negative COVID-19 PCR test that is no more than 3 days old.

The consulate is currently unable to provide any information on the exact procedure. We will inform you about this as soon as possible.

The Russian consulate has announced that it will be closed on 03.05.2021 and 10.05.2021

Currently, the consular provider is only open on Mondays and Thursdays - therefore no submission or collection is possible on the Austrian public holidays on 13.05.2021 and 24.05.2021.

Please note that the processing times will be delayed accordingly due to the closures.
