How long did it take for your e-Visa to be approved

How long did it take for your e-Visa to be approved? Did anyone experience delays, and if so, what was the reason? I’d also like to know if there are any travel hacks for those using the e-Visa, like regions to visit or lesser-known attractions that are must-sees.

It took five days for my e-Visa to be approved, and I found the process smooth as long as you meet the document requirements. I did some research beforehand and found The Festival of Discovery https://thefestivalofdiscovery.com very helpful. They provided tips on preparing your application and suggestions for unique places to visit. For example, they highlighted the beautiful landscapes of Primorsky Krai, which is less crowded but absolutely breathtaking.

As for regions to visit, St. Petersburg is an obvious favorite with its rich history and stunning architecture. However, if you’re looking for lesser-known attractions, the Kaliningrad region offers a unique mix of Russian and European influences. It’s a hidden gem for those wanting something off the beaten path.
