Apart from being reliable and smooth, the visa process for O.L.G.A. patients is unique in a number of ways:
- Your business visa for medical treatment will be valid for one year and will allow you to enter as many times as required as long as your stay doesn’t exceed 90 days in the first half of the year and 90 days in the second half of the year.
- The Russian Consulates in many European cities (Stockholm, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Oslo and others) already know well about our Clinic and our invitations and, therefore, the process of issuing the visa takes the minimum number of days.
- That’s how your future visa will look like. It has the name of our clinic on it.
- At the passport control the border guards recognize our visas and treat with respect European citizens who travel to Russia for fertility treatment purposes.
All in all, we have put a lot of efforts and time to establish a well-organized and predictable process so that when it comes to the visa, it doesn’t take much of your time and energy and you can focus on your treatment preparation.
The step-by-step process for getting your visa is the following:
- The O.L.G.A. Clinic prepares all the documents and requests an invitation for a business visa for medical treatment from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA).
- You receive a notification when the MIA accepts the documents for processing.
- We expect to receive your visa invitation within 20 working days from the date when it was accepted for processing.
- When we receive your visa invitation, we send it to you so that you can apply for your visa in your local Russian Consulate. For this you will need to book an appointment online and prepare the following documents: filled questionnaire for the visa, visa invitation, invitation from O.L.G.A. Clinic (except for Sweden), passport that is valid for at least 1,5 year from now, photos, travel insurance.
- You collect your passport with a visa in it within around 10 days.
Your personal administrator will prepare and apply your documents for the visa invitation and will help you with all the visa information and questions.

At the moment foreign cards do not work in Russia. So, our patients take with them the amount in cash (euros or dollars) that they will need to pay for the hotel, food and other expenses during their stay. You can exchange money in a bank near the Clinic/your hotel.
