    • Russian tourist voucher / business invitation

    A visa invitation (also referred to as a tourist voucher, specific tourism voucher, visa support, invitation, visa invitation or invitation letter) is the main document which is required for a formal visa application at the Russian Consulate. Visa invitation is not an invitation letter from a host in Russia; it is a legal document which includes the traveller’s personal and travel information. Type of the required invitation depends on the purpose of your visit to Russia and the type of the Russian visa you will be applying for.

    When applying for a Russian tourist voucher, specific tourism voucher or business invitation, there is no need to send any original documents.

    We will be happy to assist you with the following Russian tourist voucher or business invitations.
