Canadian Refugee Travel Document (RTD) holders may use their RTD when applying for a Russian visa. A tourist visa requires a valid tourist voucher issued by an authorized Russian tour operator or organization, while a private visa requires an official invitation issued in Russia. Visa applications must be submitted in person by appointment.

Apply for the appropriate Russian visa before travelling and carefully review the Embassy's current document requirements. Transit visa and airport-transit requirements may depend on the specific itinerary and carrier, so confirm these directly with the airline or transportation provider.
