Is it cheaper for an Australian to obtain a Russian visa in Cambodia than in Australia?

Wow I got a reply from the consular section of the Russian Embassy to Cambodia already!

For all types of visa for Australian citizens:

Single Entry Visa
100 USD 7 business days processing
200 USD 3 business days processing

Double Entry Visa
200 USD 7 business days processing
335 USD 3 business days processing

Multiple Entry Visa
340 USD 7 business days processing
600 USD 3 business days processing

** CAVEAT! **

I’ve just noticed that the email they setd me does not make clear whether these prices are for tourist visas, business visas, or the same for both.


For comparison, here are the fees from the Consulate General in Sydney:

Visa fees (AUD) for Australian citizens and processing time applicable
from 1 October, 2015:

Tourist single entry visa:

$ 150.00 – ten business days processing (~ $114 USD)
$ 300.00 – two business days processing (~ $229 USD)

Tourist double entry visa:

$ 300.00 – ten business days processing (~ $229 USD)
$ 510.00 – two business days processing (~ $389 USD)

Private, Business, Humanitarian, Study and Working single entry visas:

$ 150.00 – ten business days processing (~ $114 USD)
$ 300.00 – two business days processing (~ $229 USD)

Private, Business and Humanitarian double entry visas:

$ 300.00 – ten business days processing (~ $229 USD)
$ 510.00 – two business days processing (~ $389 USD)

Business and Humanitarian multiple entry visas:

$ 525.00 – ten business days processing (~ $400 USD)
$ 900.00 – two business days processing (~ $686 USD)

So it seems to be a bit cheaper, but it could depend on fluctuations in the exchange rate. The greatest savings are made when obtaining a multiple-entry business visa. That’s more than $100 cheaper.
