If you plan to come to Russia on a frequent basis during extended period of time, you may consider getting a business visa. Business visas are not only for business people from foreign countries, working in Russia. Business visas can also be a great choice for foreigners who come into Russia to visit friends and plan on a long, extensive and independent travelling.
ERS can provide you with a business invitation for receiving your business visa. A business invitation is a printed document on a special blank issued by the Russian Ministry of the Internal Affairs.
Usually the consulate asks for the original invitation in case of multiple-entrance visas. We can arrange sending you your invitation by express post (for an extra charge). For single/double entrance visas fax copies of invitations are accepted.
ERS can also organize sending you Telex with your invitation directly by Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Russia to the Consulate in the city where you are planning to obtain the visa. Telex gives the same rights as a business invitation, but it does not require to be sent by post.

Visa Registration
Since 15th January 2007 the Russian law has required that foreign citizens traveling to Russia for other purposes than tourist register their visas within 3 business days of their arrival. Travelers staying in Russia for less than 3 business days do not require a registration. Travelers who do not register their visas are sometimes required to pay fines when they attempt to exit Russia, or are sometimes forced to miss their flights.
Tourists do not have to register their visas.
ERS provides you with a free registration in St. Petersburg if you ordered visa support through ERS.
If you are staying in a rental apartment or other establishment, ERS can help register your Russian visa in St. Petersburg for a fee of 40 euros (up to 1 month registration) and 70 euros (up to 3 months registration). The procedure normally takes 3 days.
If you don't know what kind of visa you need it is better to choose one for the whole period of your stay and according to the frequency of entries. If you are not sure don't hesitate to contact us.
