I've read in Way to Russia there's a way to receive one, but I need to know how long could it takes, because I'm arriving to Europe on May, 19 and I'd like to go to Russia on May, 20 or 21. The thing is I don't know exactly how to contact with a company or if I can do it through this page (waytorussia.net) paying by credit card. I've checked at the consulate in Buenos Aires, and they've said to me that before I filing the papers they require the invitation to get the visa. Could someone advise me the best and fast way to obtain the invitation letter? Thanks.

If they require the original, you will have to get it sent by an air express service.

Please check this out: http://www.trulytimes.com/entertainment/russia-argentina-sign-visa-free-agreement/4162/ Perhaps this agreement didn't go into effect yet, but she should ask about it.

I don't think it has yet come into effect; barbosal already contacted the consulate, and would surely have heard, if no visa were now required. The agreement was signed less than 2 months ago, and must be ratified by the legislatures of both countries.
