Short answer
If your Russia eVisa application has a photo, payment, correction, delay, issued-PDF, transit-purpose, or checkpoint problem, first open the MFA account and eVisa TaskCard. Then use the official FAQ, country list, checkpoint list, and entry route helper before buying tickets or resubmitting.
What to do next
What to know first
Use current official sources.
Check the official FAQ for the exact status: correction required, returned for editing, payment required, accepted for processing, processing completed, photo replacement, or issued eVisa with wrong data. Match it with the MFA eligible-country list and checkpoint list before travel.
Status changes the route.
An eVisa error can change the processing clock, make a fee non-refundable, leave an issued visa with incorrect data, or make an itinerary unusable if the checkpoint or travel purpose does not fit the eVisa route.
Shortcuts create risk.
Do not guess a purpose, try an unlisted checkpoint, treat payment as refundable, edit an already issued eVisa, or use a travel-agency promise instead of the official account status. If transit is involved, open transit-stopover-russia-visa-check.

Common mistakes
Waiting for an email while the MFA account already says correction required.

Acting from old forum or blog advice.
Use current official, legal, or provider sources before acting.
