I live in Moscow and I want to stay with my sister who lives in Turkey. A visa for Russian citizens permits staying in the country for up to 60 days, but I would like longer. How can I extend my visa? Is it possible to roll over for example to Syria?
You open a multiple entry visa valid for 6 months at the Turkish Consulate in Moscow.
Required documents:
- passport (valid for at least 3 months from the date of visa or visa visa expiration)
- 1 application form, completed in English.
- color photo 3х4 cm
- certificate from the place of work with indication of the details of the company, position and salary
- photocopy of registration at the place of stay in the territory of the Russian Federation
- photocopy of birth certificate (for minors)
- tourist invitation from a private person - $
Consular fee - 60 USD.
To obtain a visa, a personal tourist presence is necessary. Visa processing deadline is 3 working days.
Consular department address: 119121, Moscow, 7th Rostovsky per., House 12
Reception days: Monday-Friday, 9.00 - 13.00
Phone: 956-55-95, Fax: 956-55-97.
2. Legitimate, but a little "nervous" way.
You can stay in Turkey for a longer period of time (up to a month after the end of the visa) by paying a fine of 374 TLY + there will be a ban on entry to Turkey for 6 months.
3. Method of renewal of visa by leaving Turkey and subsequent entry.
This way takes place to exist, but please note that despite the very loyal visa rules for Russian citizens to visit Turkey, there is an official list of documents required for a tourist when obtaining a tourist visa:
- Passport (valid for at least 3 months from the date of visa or visa visa expiration)
- tourist voucher
- return ticket with the specified date.
- medical insurance.
The probability that during the passage of the second passport control the officer will ask you to present these documents is very high. If you can not provide them, you will not be allowed into the country.
Regardless of which way you choose, I highly recommend that you purchase a health insurance policy.Answers to questions about Turkey • All answers Ask a question
