The customer enters personal information on the application form and uploads the required documents.
Our team manually compares the uploaded passport image and other supporting documents with the information on the application form.
If incorrect information, a typing error, a missing field, or an incorrect document is found, we contact the customer and carry out the necessary checks.
Important information relating to the official application is not changed at will without the customer’s approval.
These steps are carried out to reduce application errors and to provide the customer with independent, value-added administrative support.

Under applicable data protection law, personal data may be processed on the following legal bases:
Entering into and performing the service contract with the customer.
Meeting legal and financial duties.
Legitimate interests such as platform security, fraud prevention, and maintaining service quality.
The customer’s explicit consent where the relevant law requires it.
Where processing is based on explicit consent, the customer may withdraw that consent within the framework of applicable law.
Withdrawal of consent does not invalidate lawful processing carried out before the withdrawal.
7. Sharing with official application systems
With the customer’s express authorization, the personal information and documents needed to complete an electronic visa application may be transferred to the competent official electronic visa application system of the Russian Federation.
This transfer is made only to carry out the application steps the customer has requested.
Personal data sent to the official application system may be subject to that authority’s own laws and data processing rules.
e-Visa Russia Portal does not control the independent data processing activities of official authorities.
8. Payment information and security
Payments made through our website are processed through the secure payment infrastructure of the payment service provider in use.
During payment, information such as the cardholder name, card details, payment amount, transaction reference, and payment verification data may be processed by the payment service provider.
