What do I do if a visa is required?
Citizens of most countries require an entry visa to Russia, which is their sole responsibility. Please contact your local consulate for details. The visa process can be lengthy, so we recommend applying as early as possible. Not being a company registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, we do not have the right to issue invitations for a visa. However, most embassies will accept an official hotel confirmation instead of an invitation. When you make your reservation, please ask the hotel reservation department to send you an official confirmation for visa support. Aa an alternative, you can contact your local travel agency which will assist you with visa support.
