Consulate-General of Japan in Saint Petersburg

Japan’s Consulate-General serves Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast. Its website distinguishes the main building entrance at 29 Moika Embankment from the consular counter at 30 Millionnaya Street, where Japanese nationals’ applications and enquiries are handled. The official July 2026 greeting identifies Hiroki Matsuo as Consul-General, a post he has held since 2023.

Documented services include passports, overseas resident registration, certificates, family-register and nationality matters, overseas voting, guidance on children’s education, health and pensions, and assistance in accidents or emergencies. The instructions spell out conditions and documents for each file; lost passports, new passports and different certificates follow separate procedures. The Consulate advises checking current lists and asking in advance when an application depends on an individual circumstance.

Ordinary Japanese visas are no longer filed at the Consular Section: since February 2026, the JVAC at 21/5 Stremyannaya Street, Olympic Plaza, has received applications under its own hours, appointment system and fees. The Consulate remains the contact for urgent diplomatic, official or humanitarian cases. Because older pages still display visa-counter hours that changed after the centre opened, applicants should use the newer notice rather than old screenshots or directory entries.

The email ryoji@px.mofa.go.jp and +7 (812) 336-7673 belong to consular affairs, while the Moika main reception has different contact details. We do not record Google stars or a comment count because we could not confirm unambiguous metrics for the Millionnaya entrance; figures from another map platform are not substituted. Before travelling, confirm the correct door, local closure dates and whether the specific file requires an appointment or personal appearance.
