Visa & Entry

Thai passport holders enter Russia visa-free for up to 30 days under a bilateral visa exemption agreement between Thailand and Russia. No advance application is needed. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. You receive a stamp and a migration card at immigration. Keep the migration card (a small paper slip) until departure, as you surrender it when leaving Russia.

The 30-day visa-free stay covers tourism and short business visits. For stays beyond 30 days, apply for a tourist visa at the Russian Embassy in Bangkok before departure. Russia also offers an e-visa for certain entry points covering up to 16 days for $40, applied for at electronic-visa.kdmid.ru, but the bilateral visa-free arrangement gives Thai nationals a longer 30-day stay without any application.

Direct flights from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) to Moscow Sheremetyevo (SVO) run about 9 hours 30 minutes on Aeroflot and Thai Airways. Russia uses the Russian ruble (RUB), trading at roughly 2.5 RUB per THB 1. Visa and Mastercard issued outside Russia do not work due to financial restrictions, so carry cash (US dollars or euros to exchange on arrival) or obtain a Mir or UnionPay card. ATMs dispense rubles in all cities. Moscow's metro costs RUB 57 per ride (about THB 23) on a Troika card. Winter temperatures in Moscow drop to minus 15 to minus 25 degrees Celsius in January.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
