Passport and Visa

Be sure to stay organized and to submit all requested documents on time!

MISTI TIP #1
Check your passport

If you need a visa, your passport must have at least 2 blank visa-designated pages and be valid for at least 6 months after intended departure date from your host country.

MISTI TIP #2
Applying for visas

Visa process for Eurasia can be complicated but don't worry! We work with a visa agency in New York, which will apply for a visa on your behalf. You'll just need to mail them your passport, visa application and photo around one month before your trip.

MISTI TIP #3
Russian visas: processing time

Please remember that you first need to receive an official invitation letter from Russia in order to proceed with applying for your visa. Everything can take about two months.
