What does this service include?
A tourist visa is the first step towards exploring a new destination. But preparing it can be stressful: missing documents, complex forms, hard-to-get consular appointments. MigraGate handles the entire process: personalised checklist, verification of each document, completion of the application form, and submission to the relevant consulate based on your country of residence. We mainly cover Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Uzbekistan — culturally rich destinations accessible from Francophone Africa.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an invitation to visit Russia?
Yes. An African national must have an official invitation letter (from a hotel, an accredited agency or a private individual). MigraGate issues this invitation within 24–48 h.
How long can my tourist stay last?
The Russian tourist visa is generally valid for 30 days of actual stay. It can be single or double entry depending on your needs.
Can I apply from any country?
MigraGate supports clients living in France, sub-Saharan Africa, the Maghreb and Eastern Europe. The procedure adapts to your country of residence.

In the event of refusal, our advisors analyse the reasons, correct the file and submit an appeal or a new application at no extra charge.
