Russian Visa

Moscow Hotels can also help you receive a Russian visa invitation. This is the document that is necessary to receive a Russian visa. Only Russian Consulate’s can issue the actual visa but in order to receive one, you will have to have the Russian visa invitation (sometimes called a voucher).

Applying for the Russian visa invitation is easy, just pick the type of Russian visa invitation you will need and click on the appropriate button to take you to the Russian visa invitation application.

Guests staying in Moscow hotels usually only require a Russian tourist visa which is good for single entry travel with up to a 30 day stay. We also offer a double entry Russian tourist visa invitation – allowing 2 entries within the 30 day period. Finally, for business people coming to Moscow for longer trips, we can also offer a multiple entry business visa invitation good for 6 months or 1 year.
