Russian 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
