To enter Russia tourists need to have a Russian visa. To issue your Russian visa you need to apply to your closest Russian Embassy or Consulate. In order to issue your visa, the Russian Embassy or Consulate will require a visa invitation. ERS can provide you with a tourist visa invitation within 1 working day only.

A tourist visa is the best choice when you know exactly where and how long you are going to stay in Russia without diverting from your planned itinerary. Please check at your local Consulate for which period (up to 14 or 30 days) they issue tourist visas. If you would like to have double entrance tourist visa, please check at your local Consulate if you can have it as well. Please note if you travel to Kaliningrad by train from one of the Russian cities you should have double entrance visa.

The so-called tourist visa support or invitation is a hotel voucher confirming booking of accommodation in Russia. That means that officially you must have a booking confirmation of any accommodation for the whole period of your visit. If you are staying with your friends or relatives or you want to book accommodation on your own, we can offer you our visa support for an additional charge.

We can either fax this invitation to you (if a fax copy is accepted by the Russian Embassy or Consulate in your country), or send you your invitation by express mail. Despite receiving a visa invitation from us you must still pay the Embassy or Consulate to be issued a Visa.

You must also ensure that you get your visa invitation to the Embassy in good time so they have time to process it. The less time you give them, the more you’ll have to pay!

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.
