Hi,

I have already a booking confirmation with reference for Sint-Petersburg. Is this enough to get a visa at the embassy? If not, is this a problem to get visa support by way to russia?

Best regards,
Peter

Booking confirmation is NOT enough - usually, the Consulates don't even care about this. What you need is an official invitation letter (also called visa support).

Often, your hotel can make such an invitation for you. If they can't or won't, the usual path is to get visa support through a travel company, as can be done through the waytorussia site.
