Hi

Great site i am visiting Tallinn for 10 days and would like to visit Moscow by train. I was looking at stoping over 1 night in Moscow before returning back to Tallinn.
Not sure what i need in respect of a visa and if i need to sort it out in the uk or if i can get it sorted in Tallinn?

I was looking for the cheapest sleeper ticket return from Tallinnn to Moscow anybody any idea how much it will cost?

Also anybody know a good but cheap Hotel in Moscw for 1 night?

I thought a Tourist visa was right biut i see on here a 72 hour visa?? confused now. Also how do i get an invation voucher if i do not know what hotel i am staying in?

From the UK Consulate its more confusing:
To get a Tourist Visa to Russia you should submit the following paperwork to the Consulate:

1. A completed visa application form obtainable (free of charge) from the Consulate or from any travel agencies.

2. A valid original 10-year passport with at least one blank page.

3. One recent passport size photo stapled twice to the upper-right corner of the application form.

4. An original Tourist Voucher from a British (Russian) travel agency stamped and signed by an authorized person.

5. A standard Tourist Confirmation (in Russian language) of acceptance from the authorized Russian travel agency or a hotel, registered with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The confirmation must contain the agency’s reference number and registration number.

6. A standard covering letter from your travel agency in the UK (for the tourist agents only).

So items 1 to 3 are no problem but items 4,5 and 6 seems difficult for me to do.
I am flying from UK to Tallin with Easyjet self booked on the internet, also hotel in Tallinn booked online. So i have no travel agents in relation to this part of the journey. Train tickets will be bought in Tallinn so i am really confused how anybody arranges this.

Please help me
