Everyone travelling to Russia is responsible for obtaining their own visa.
Please notice that regulations require that you can only do so within three months of the start of your Russian holiday.
The Russian Embassy will stamp the Visa direct into your passport and we feel it is both safer and more convenient for everyone that you send the paper to one of the many specialist travel companies in your country that deals with this.
If for any reason you have problems with your invitation paper or visa, please do not hesitate to contact us immediately.
The normal time to get a Visa is 7 working days plus mail, which means approx. 2 weeks.
