If you are dreaming of visiting Russia, do not be happy by just booking flight tickets. It is not so easy to get Russia’s visa. For this, you will also have to prepare to give some important paper, a solid bank balance and the correct answer in the interview. There have been many such cases in recent times when people could not get a visa despite ticket booking and hotel receipts. The reason is clear incomplete preparation and low balance in bank statement.

Visa requires confidence not just documents

To get a tourist visa from Russia, you need some important documents like valid passports, photos, returns tickets, hotel booking and travel insurance. But apart from all this, visa officials want to know that you are really going to roam and will return. For this, you have to answer the questions asked in the interview with confidence.

Bank balance is also monitored

While applying for Visa for Student Visa in Russia, Indian students should show at least 5,00,000 to 7,00,000 rupees in their bank account. This amount is proof that the student can bear the expenses of their studies and living in Russia for the first few months.

For the tourist visa of Russia, you must have a good balance in the bank. It is generally believed that you should have about $ 100 (about 8,000 rupees) for every day. That is, if you are going for 10 days, then you should have at least 80,000 rupees in your account, that too for a few months continuously. Suddenly deposited money can cause doubt.

These questions can be asked in interview

• Why do you want to go to Russia?
• What other countries are seal on your passport?
• Who is traveling with you?
• What is your job or business?
• Why will you come back?
