Sea port of St Petersburg Several years ago visa-free tours in St. Petersburg became a reality. Cruise passengers have the right to visit the Russian Federation without a visa.  If you come to St. Petersburg by a cruise ship, then you can visit the city and have no problem with visa applications. Sounds great, doesn’t it? But it's not that so simple. Of course there are a number of bureaucratic conditions. According to the Russian law, foreign tourists and persons without citizenship traveling on ferries and cruise ships may arrive to the port of St. Petersburg without a Russian visa and stay in Russia for no longer than 72 hours (3 days).

        All passengers traveling visa-free to St. Petersburg are required to present a passport before entering their ship.  Passports are required to be valid six months after arriving to St. Petersburg. All passengers traveling visa free have to reserve a sightseeing program in St. Petersburg in advance. Therefore you can visit the city ONLY with a help of a tour agency or a guide. Why? Because the accredited tour agency will send the list of passengers to the border officer and you must to show the tour-ticket to the officer on the control point. You CANNOT leave your ship without a tour-ticket or visa. A tour-ticket is a document which has your detailed tour information that you have to show to the border control officer. Your time of visitation and agenda have to be recorded on a tour-ticket in St. Petersburg. It’s obvious that you may get a tour-ticket with only an accredited tour company. Simply you have to buy a tour. If you want to explore the city independently you should have a Russian Visa. It’s true that getting visa requires time and money, but if you want to save time and money, you should book a visa-free tour to St Petersburg.
