Complete the online form, then submit your documents in person or by courier. The form alone does not finish the application on this route.
Carry proof of onward or return travel and of where you are staying. Border officers ask for both, and an airline can refuse boarding without them.

Do Not Travel
UK FCDO: The FCDO advises against all travel to Russia. The risks stem from the continuing invasion of Ukraine, including drone attacks and Russian air defence activity, and terrorists are highly likely to attempt attacks, including in major cities. British nationals face a heightened risk of detention by the Russian authorities.

Questions
What Norwegian citizens ask about entering Russia
Yes. Norwegian citizens need an eVisa, applied for and approved online before travelling to Russia. This was last checked on 19 April 2026.
Up to 30 days on this entry route. A longer trip needs a different permission, which this page does not cover. A border officer decides the length granted on the day.
Through the official application page linked on this page. Yoogo does not process applications and takes no fee for them.
A passport valid for the trip, proof of onward or return travel, and proof of where you are staying. Officers can ask for evidence that you can support yourself for the visit. Entry is always the officer's decision, whatever the paperwork says.
Russia uses RUB. Check the rate before you exchange anything at the airport, where the spread is usually widest.
Safety is a judgement your own government makes, not Yoogo. This page links the official travel advice for your passport; read it before booking, because advice can change faster than entry rules.
