How does this visa work?

As a rule, the first visitor’s visa is issued for up to six months, taking into account the individual situation of the applicant, the requested period, the specific purpose of the visit and documentary justification. Subsequently, if the first visa was used in full compliance with the rules, the applicant may apply for a longer visa valid for up to 2, 5, or 10 years, choosing the desired duration within this range. The validity period of a visa determines its cost.
