Getting a Visa Invitation and Visa for Russia
Residents of almost every country are required to obtain a Visa to enter the Russian Federation. Your Russian Visa is both your entry and exit permit from Russia. The Visa will record your details in Russian and English and will stipulate the earliest date that you can arrive in Russia and the latest date that you can leave Russia.
Visas for Russia CANNOT be obtained at the border and they MUST be obtained before you arrive at the Russian border - there is no such thing as receiving an "instant Visa" at the border which happens in many other countries, that does NOT happen at the Russian border!
You can obtain your Russian Visa at your local Russian Embassy or Consulate, but before applying you will need to have the proper authorisation (Visa Invitation) issued by the Passport and Visa Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation or from agencies authorised by the Ministry to issue them. We cannot provide you with a Visa, that can only be provided to you from an Embassy or Consulate. What we provide you with is the Visa Invitation (the official Invitation to visit the Country) that you must get, before you can apply for your Visa.
There are a variety of different Russian Visa Invitations available, designed to suit specific purposes, but the only ones that we are concerned with, are the Russian Tourist and Business Visa Invitations. If you know what Invitation you need, please use the links on the side of this page to go direct to the Order Form for that Invitation. If you need further information about the different Russian Visa Invitations, then use the links at the top of the page or directly below, to go to the pages with further information.
