The invitation form requires a hotel and we do not have one yet;

One answer says just a select a hotel and we do not have to stay there but I am reluctant. I want everything to be correct and in order when we submit our visa applications. What should I do? Thanks, Deborah

Hi Deborah,

Well, do you know which hotel you're going to stay in? If yes, let us know, and we'll ask the visa company to add it into the list. If not – then I'd say you don't have any other option, because in order to get a tourist visa you need to specify where you're staying before you get the invitation. This is the way it works. So I'd suggest to look through the hotels in our city guides - http://waytorussia.net/Moscow/Guide.html for example, choose the hotel you like, and choose that hotel in the visa application form when you apply and stay at the hotel – this way you're going to do everything correctly.

All the best!
