Business visits to Russia

Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Dominican passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see evisa.kdmid.ru.

Working in Russia

Transit through Russia

Option 1
Visa-freeTransit (changing flights in Russia)

Airside transfer within 24 hours: no transit visa; otherwise a transit visa

You can transfer between international flights at a Russian airport without a transit visa if you stay in the airport's transit zone, your onward flight leaves within 24 hours of arrival, and you hold the documents to enter your destination. Otherwise you need a Russian transit visa (for air transit up to 3 days) unless your passport is visa-free for Russia - see the holiday section. Flights to or from Belarus via Sheremetyevo need a transit visa in both directions.

Conditions

  • Onward international flight within 24 hours of arrival, staying in the transit zone.
  • Hold the documents to enter your destination country.
  • Transit via Sheremetyevo to/from Minsk (Belarus) needs a transit visa.

Official wording

“Embassy of the Russian Federation in Norway (mid.ru) – Transit visa: 'Travelers have the right to pass through the territory of Russian Federation without a transit visa ... if travelers have an international air flight and transfer in a Russian airport provided they have due documents to enter the country of destination and an air flight ticket with an indicated date of flight from the Russian transfer airport within 24 hours upon arrival. A transit visa is not required if travelers remain in the transit zone of the airport in order to catch an onward or connecting flight within 24 hours of arrival'; 'Travelers who are going to visit Belarus and have a transit flight through Sheremetyevo airport (SVO) to Minsk airport have to obtain a transit visa in both directions.'”
