About the introduction of a new form of visa for entry into Russia told at a briefing 23 in November 2017, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, according to the website World Coordination Council.

In June of this year, changes were made to the legislation governing, in particular, the issuance of visas to foreign citizens and stateless persons in respect of whom the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia made a positive decision on issuing a permit for temporary residence in Russia.

As before, Russian consulates abroad issue appropriate visas for four months, and territorial units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia extend or issue new visas for the duration of the temporary residence permit (RWP). The difference is that now the Russian overseas agencies will issue visas in order to obtain a temporary residence permit, and the territorial divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia will issue temporary residence visas when issuing a RWP.

However, the form of the visa has not changed - it is a visa on a machine-readable visa form.
