Some important information
before you apply
>> In order to get a tourist
Russian visa, you need a tourist voucher and a reservation
confirmation (also called visa support or invitation).
These are all the documents needed to get a tourist visa
to Russia (along with your passport, of course) and they
will be sent to you by e-mail or fax after you fill out the
form below and make your payment.
>> The price is $30 US (€21) for
next working day processing and $45 US (€31.5) for the same working day
processing.
>> With the visa support obtained through this site,
you will not be tied to any hotel reservations or any specific dates.
You are free to travel anywhere in Russia within the dates
of your visa validity.
>> A special letter from a travel
agent is NOT required by the Russian consulates if you get your invitation
through this site (it would be needed only if you obtained your visa support
documents from a travel agency in your country).

itinerary is only needed if you apply in Japan and is available for free
if the consulate requests it.

Visa FAQ |
Q: I want to travel for longer than 1 month or need multiple-entry
visa.
A: Then you can apply for a business
visa (you
don't need to be in a business to get it).
Q: Do I need to reserve hotels in order to get a
visa?
A: No. In fact, once you get this invitation,
the hotel is reserved for you, but you don't have
to stay there (that's why you pay $30 US).
Q: Can I enter Russia after the date my visa starts?
A: Yes. The dates you specify is simply the time span during which you have
to enter and leave Russia. You don't have to travel on these dates.
Q:
How long before my travel dates can I apply for the invitation
and the Russian
visa
itself?
A: You can get tourist visa support from most travel agencies at
any moment,
however, you can apply for a tourist visa at a Russian consulate not earlier
than 90 days before your requested visa validity start date. So,
if you're going on a long travel it's better to get the invitation now, and then
apply when it's less than 90 days before your trip to Russia.
Q: Can the visa be extended?
A: No, it's so complicated and expensive there's no point. If you're not
sure
when
you want to leave, just put your visa end date a few days later in this application.
Q: Can I travel where I want?
A: Yes, as long as it's not some secret military base. And you can stay as
long as you wish in each city as well.
Q: How to make sure I get the visa at the consulate?
A: The main rule is to provide the information that is consistent to this
visa support letter you're getting. So for example if you are getting a tourist
visa support you should specify the purpose of your visit "tourism" and not "visiting
friends".
Q: Do I need an insurance to get a visa?
A: UK - no, USA, EU (Shengen countries) - yes. Your credit card insurance
might
be
enough
in most cases.
Q: Do I need a flight to be booked in order to get a tourist visa?
A: No.
Q: Do I need originals of the invitation?
A: No: fax or a scanned copy (sent to you by e-mail) is usually enough. Only
the consulates in Sweden and Switzerland may require originals.
Q: Is this service legal and reliable?
A: Yes, 100%. Thousands customers get their visa support through Way to Russia.
We are recommended by Lonely Planet, BBC, Rough Guides, and the leading national
newspapers in UK, USA, Australia. You can see our Russian
Visa forum - there
are lots of reports from satisfied customers.
Q: How come you didn't answer all my questions?
A: Sorry about that. Most likely there's an answer at our Concise Step-by-Step
guide
or Russian Visa guide. If not, just
post
your
question
at
our Russian
Visa forum or contact us directly at visa@waytorussia.net or ICQ 6049950
