Do you provide Visa Support letters for Australians?

+1 vote
Hi, I just wanted to confirm if the WaytoRussia Visa Support Letter application extends to Australian citizens travelling to Russia. I plan on traveling independently using hostels and trains and don't have a fixed itinerary but do have fixed dates for entry/exit from Russia.  Does the Visa support letter and tourist vouchers that you provide use dummy bookings or are they valid for staying at ANY hotel/hostel in ANY city in Russia? If a dummy booking is being used will I be given details about it in case I am questioned about my itinerary at the airport on arrival to Russia?

Best regards
Dev

Yes, our partner company provides visa support for Australian citizens. When you apply for your visa support, the company that provides it books the hotels for you – as this is the condition to get a visa. However, you can then of course choose to stay somewhere else – nobody is going to make you stay in those hotels that were booked for you.

Regarding the cities – you should list those you're planning to visit, but of course once you're in Russia you could potentially travel somewhere else and as long as it's not in the list of restricted territories, you would be fine.

Regarding your itinerary - in fact, your visa won't say your itinerary - it's only written on the visa support and in your visa application form.
