Russian visa route for Burkina Faso passport holders
An ordinary Burkina Faso passport is not listed under a general visa exemption or the current e-visa list. A regular visa is therefore the normal route; its supporting document follows the real purpose.

What the central source establishes
The short answer, without the sales pitch
For an ordinary Burkina Faso passport, the working assumption is a regular Russian visa. Tourism normally uses confirmation from a registered tour operator. For citizens covered by Government list 372-r, a qualifying booking confirmation from classified accommodation can be an alternative. Business, private, work and study travel use different invitation channels. The responsible mission or visa centre decides its local checklist and receives the application.

What changes when the trip changes?
Up to 30 days, one entry
Burkina Faso is absent from the current specialist e-visa list. Do not treat the digital route as available unless the official portal changes.
Regular tourist or business visa
For Burkina Faso, the regular category is the working route. Tourism normally needs registered operator support; business, private, work and study use different evidence.
Longer, repeated or different trip
Entry count, duration and purpose decide whether tourist support, a business invitation, a private invitation or another host process is appropriate.
Work and study are not tourism
Burkina Faso: Paid work and study normally begin with the Russian employer or educational institution. Re-labelling the trip to fit a simpler product creates an inconsistent application.

What must be checked with the application post

its current passport-validity, blank-page, photo and application-form rules;

which category-specific support it accepts, including whether the 372-r hotel route applies;
