There are  processing times for the Russian tourist visa. One is for students from EU countries, and the other for those students from non-EU countries.

An option is Express Visa Processing (3 days), BUT THAT WILL COST EXTRA and the cost of this is 90 EUR.

Express Visa Processing is ONLY available for European Union passport holders.

Visa Processing Times for all Non-EU Citizens: all others countries, also INCLUDING the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland – these two EU countries did not sign the agreement with the Russian Federation.

The processing time for Non-EU citizen’s tourist visa is a maximum of 14 working days.

The exception to this is for students from the United States of America, the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and Canada:

The tourist visa processing time for citizens of these four countries is a maximum of 15 working days.

We especially recommend that students from these four countries use the early visa processing option to ensure that their visas are processed on time for the trip departures.

There is not an “Express Visa Processing” option for Non-EU citizens.
