Can I apply for a Russian visa from the country Georgia?

As of June 2016, I can confirm that a foreign non-resident can apply and receive a tourist visa to Russia in Tbilisi, Georgia. I’ve just picked mine up from the consulate.

The process wasn’t simple, and the application is long, but it is possible.

There are some additional requirements for Australian citizens, requiring the application to be completed in Russian, and the submission of an “autobiography”, also in Russian.

I wrote about the whole process and my experience on my travel blog – Apply For A Visa To Russia In Tbilisi, Georgia

Embassy of Switzerland in Georgia, Russian Federation Interests Section is issuing the Russian visas in Tbilisi, but not the touristic ones, unfortunately. So you must apply for a visa in Australia.

Everything I’ve been told about Russian visas (and I’m in Russia now) is that you can ONLY apply for a visa from your country of citizenship, OR your country of residency, if the two are different. Which was handy for me as a New Zealander living in the UK.

From http://www.visatorussia.com/russianvisa.nsf/FaqNew.html :

“If you apply for a visa not in your own country, a copy of your residence or work permit in the country of your temporary residence may also be required. In this case our operators will inform you about this additional requirement. “

Which would seem to imply that yes, you can from Georgia IF and only IF you are currently working there.

However, I’d suggest contacting visatorussia.com, as they may have some additional tricks.
