Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Russian visa invitation (Letter of Invitation)?
A Russian visa invitation, also known as a Letter of Invitation (LOI), is an official document required by all Russian consulates as part of the visa application process. It confirms that a registered organization in Russia is formally inviting a foreign national to visit. Without it, the consulate will not process your visa application. For tourist visas, the invitation package includes a Tourist Voucher and a Hotel Confirmation.
How much does a Russian visa invitation cost in 2026?
The price depends on the type of invitation, duration, and nationality. For more detailed information, please contact our managers.
Do Russian consulates accept electronic (PDF) invitations?
Yes, nearly all Russian consulates worldwide accept electronic (PDF) versions of tourist invitations — this has been standard practice since 2012. For business invitations sent via telex, no paper document is needed, as the consulate receives the authorization directly from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
How quickly will I receive my invitation after payment?
Tourist invitations are fully automated and delivered to your email within 5 minutes — our service operates 24/7, including weekends and public holidays. Business invitations require longer processing: standard takes 5–14 business days, express 2–3 days, and urgent processing is available within 1 business day.
What documents do I need to get a visa invitation?
To issue a tourist invitation online or with the assistance of our manager, a passport copy and hotel reservation are required. We do not provide hotel booking services, so reservations should be made in advance by the applicant.
