Hi, my first post. I have been to Russia many times to visit my wifes family but we always go on a private visa. No time for this trip so trying the tourism route through waytorussia and Real Russia Ltd. I understand all except the business of hotel booking. Real Russia Ltd and they will do all the forms and application. However, I understand from FAQ on Waytorussia that a hotel has to be 'allocated'. Is this hotel in the city I am visiting (my destination is Nizhnekamsk, a small city in Tatarstan)? I guess not but surely then it is obvious it is a fake hotel booking? Also, is a booking actually made? I am staying with family and they can do the registration etc. but are we okay doing it through them as landlord if a hotel has been specified?
Thanks in advance,
Tony

In addition to my last post I tried to use RR to book my visa and there destination drop down doesn't include the place I am going to (Nizhnekamsk). Does this mean they don't do visas to that place? I will ring them but no answer at the moment, just thought someone may have come across this.
Thanks

Don't buy to a company that repeatedly doesn't answer the phone. Unless the place you want to go needs a special permission (military restricted places mostly) you don't really have to write on the application where you want to go to. It won't be mentionned anywhere on the visa. Just write Moscow, St Petersburg and you'll be fine.
