Russian Tourist Voucher. Secure Online Order

 

What is a Russian tourist voucher?

In order to get your Russian tourist visa you must provide to the Russian consulate an official visa support document, also known as “Tourist Voucher”, “Tourist Confirmation” or "Invitation Letter". Without a tourist voucher (invitation) you will not be able to get a tourist visa to Russia.

Russian tourist voucher is an official document issued by an authorised travel agency confirming your personal details, travel dates and itinerary in Russia. Once you have received your tourist voucher, you can apply for your Russian tourist visa and in the visa application form you will need to enter the details of your voucher (its number, issuing travel agency registration details).

Tourist voucher can be issued for the following types of Russian tourist visas:
  • Single entry (one entry to Russia, maximum period of stay in Russia - 30 or 90 days);
  • Double entry (two entries to Russia within visa validity, maximum period of stay in Russia - 30 or 90 days);
  • Multiple entries (multiple entries to Russia within 180 days, maximum period of stay in Russia – 90 days within 180 days).
So you first step should be – order a tourist voucher and only then fill in the visa form. Otherwise your visa form will be incomplete and not accepted by the Russian consulate.
 

Where do I get a tourist voucher from?

You can get your tourist voucher and confirmation from the hotel you are staying at in Russia. However not all hotels are authorised to issue vouchers and secondly the process of getting an official voucher from the hotel can be lengthy. And if you are not staying in a hotel, this is not an option at all.

The easiest and most economical way of getting a Russian tourist voucher is to order it online on our website. It will take maximum 5 minutes and your voucher can be issued within 1 hour, 3 hours, maximum 24 hours after placing an order, depending on your chosen option.

  • Your personal details (name, surname, date of birth).
  • Passport details (including number, date of issue, expiry).
  • Travel dates in Russia.
  • Travel itinerary (you will need to specify the cities you are planning to visit in Russia).
That’s all we need. You do not need to book a hotel, flight, tour or any other travel arrangement with us to get your voucher. Just make sure you have your passport details and enter them correctly in the online order form.

Once you get your voucher you can apply for your visa. Please note that you can stay in any hotel / private accommodation in Russia, and travel to any unrestricted area in Russia with your visa.
