How do I get an invitation for a visa if I'm staying with an Air Bnb host?

Me and my friend have booked a flat with Air Bnb in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. How do we get an invitation or a tourist voucher for this?

Well, the purpose of your trip is "tourism", so you should get a tourist visa.

Some tourist visa support application forms ask which hotel you'll stay in - you can specify any hotel at first and then request the visa support company to put an "Apartment" or "Homestay" in the list.

You can get an invitation on http://waytorussia.net/Travel/VisaSupport.html
