Russia visa for citizens of Australia

Citizens of Australia need a visa for Russia that is issued through the embassy or a visa centre: it can’t be obtained online, because you must attend in person to submit documents and biometrics. Visago fills in the form, prepares your documents and books your appointment. The service costs $49.

For citizens of Australia: the passport opens 109 countries visa-free; Canberra — Moscow: ≈ 14,480 km, about 18.5 hours of flying.
