• What should I do if I need a visa?

  Citizens of most countries in the world need an entrance  visa to visit Russia. It is your responsibility to acquire the Russian visa. Please contact your local Russian consulate for complete information. The process may take time, so it is best practice to apply for a visa as early as possible.
  
  Not being accredited by the Foreign Affairs Ministry, we cannot provide official visa invitations. However most embassies / consulates will accept a hotel reservation confirmation for invitation. So when you book your hotel room, please ask your reservation manager to send you an official confirmation for visa purposes.
  
  As an alternative way, you may choose to turn to a travel agency, which will assist you with the visa.
