Very often Russian business visa is used instead of Russian tourist visa because it gives more flexibility in traveling and staying in Russia.

Standard Russian business visa is issued for up to 90 days and with up to 2 entries per visa. There are also multiple-entry Russian business visas, valid for 3, 6 or 12 months with unlimited entries and exits.

If you plan to obtain 6 and 12 months multiple entry Russian business visa letter of invitation, please be informed, that according to the Russian migration legislation you cannot stay in Russia for more than 90 days in every 180 days-period. You must leave the territory of the Russian Federation and then re-enter for the other 90 days. Please note that the 180-day Russian visa period regarding the 90-day restriction rule starts from the first day of you first arrival at the territory of the Russian Federation (Russian border crossing), not from the date of the Russian visa issuance. Limited-entry Russian business visas of shorter duration shall not be subject to the 90-day rule.

You also should know that every Russian business visa must registered when you arrive in Russia for more than 3 business days.

Actually, the 90-days rule is enforced in Russian visa registration procedure only. Immigration officers at the Russian border control still do not count the real length of your stay in Russia. Thus some foreign nationals having Russian business visas and permanently living in Russia prefer to cross the Russian border with neighboring countries (Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania) and re-enter in a one or a few days. This allows them to re-new Russian migration card and to have proper Russian visa registration in every day of staying in Russia.

Any way, if you have Russian business visa and plan to stay in Russia of more than 90 days Visalink recommends you to check this issue in advance to ensure that remaining in Russia will not result in a violation of Russian visa and Russian visa registration regulations.
