I have been through few visa applications while travelling a lot and one of the visa types I dare not look at it too closely was Russian. Fast forward, I read about Visabot in a travel forum. Honestly, I gave it a shot even before I bought flights to St. Petersburg and that was one of the best decisions of my trip — it was. Their site is so frickin' clean, crowded messages-free! It tells you exactly what you should do, plus goes and reviews your files like a real person is on the other end. Even the one time I made an error in my passport number (a typo of one digit), they emailed me literally an hour later and assisted me to fix it. Within 3 days of that my e-visa was approved and I faced no issues at the border. That most surprised me! I actually rather enjoyed the process—something I didn't think was possible regarding visas!

The application process was easy and quick. I received emails for each step and downloaded the visa from the mail in less than 4 days. Only the thing I could suggest is being sent less emails. But I got to admit a great job on your part and if I were to go to Russia in winter I would certainly do the same process

This is the first time I have done a visa application by myself. Usually, I apply through an agency. But it was actually easier than I expected. I still had to wait 3 days, yet it was faster than going to the office

I see so many websites that are fake, but Visabot was nothing like that. They explained everything clearly. After 3 days, I got my e-visa. The control at the border accepted it. Everything went well. 👍
