Group Tourist Visa Order 2010??

gonesh — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:43:01 GMT

I am trying to order a group visa invitation letter for my wife and I for travel to Russia in 2010. But when selecting entry and exit dates, there is no option for 2010. Is this an error?

I am aware that I should not apply for my visa more than 90 days in advance, but I want to prepare early by getting the invitation letter.

RE: The New Russian Visa Registration Procedure 2007

Gieliovd — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:14:11 GMT

I got my invitation papers yesterday via mail. Quick and cheap! Didn't bother getting the 1 day quick service. Had it in within less than half a day anyway.

I'm going to go to the consulate with all the papers on monday (I think).

As soon as I get to St. Peterburg I'm going to take the adventure on with my friend and just try and register the visa manually. We can always use one of the travel agencies to do it! It seems quite easy.

Like Romdur says, you can just let someone do it. They'll make copies and you can pick up the documents 2 days later (or something).

I've learnt a lot in my research.

It just seems easy at this stage....

- Get a health insurance declaration
- Buy a visa invitation (visa support documents, voucher)
- Go to the consulate with all the papers and photo's and stuff
- Register your visa at the OVIR or police OR let some office do it for a fee.

RE: Invitation letter to Brazil (staying at my friend's)

romdur — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:09:08 GMT

Don't worry too much, you have plenty of time.

I have read that it can take several weeks for a Russian citizen to make an official private letter of invitation.

The good news is that for not very much expense, you can get an invitation letter from a travel company (for example, through this website). If you do this, you will save your Russian friend some time and money, and get your invitation very quickly. But a specific company can often make invitations only for certain countries, so you must find a company that can issue invitations for Brazilians.

At some Russian consulates, a FAX of the letter is acceptable, but others require the actual letter -- ask your Russian Embassy about this! If they need the letter, you will have to pay for international mailing, and allow some extra days for this.

More good news: the invitation address doesn't have to match where you are staying. I suggest that on your visa application (you should apply for a tourist visa), where they ask what cities you will visit, write both Krasnodar, and the city given as the invitation address. That you will register your visa in a town different from the invitation address is no problem.

Finally, you can generally apply for a tourist visa up to 90 days before your trip, so you should be able to start your application right away.

RE: once I get to Russia what happens

romdur — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:23:05 GMT

Ditto to all the above, just a little more detail:

In Russia, your visa (a full-page sticker permanently affixed to a visa page in your passport) serves as both an entry visa and exit visa. Because of this, losing a passport is a very difficult situation. I am careful with my passport when traveling.

The Migration Card (which you'll probably receive on the plane, but maybe need to pick up as you approach Passport Control at the airport) is a slip of paper. Things to fill in include your passport number, the visa number (near the upper right-hand corner of the visa), purpose of your visit (probably tourism for you) and the address where you will stay. Most of these items you will write twice, on both the left and right halves of the Card.

When you arrive, the Passport Control officer will tear off the left half of the Card, and return to you the right (departure) half, having stamped it. I always keep this in between the pages of my passport. It can be a big problem if you don't have it when you leave Russia.

All in all, it's fairly simple, with the hotel handling your registration. Just have your passport and the departure half of your migration card with you when you get to passport control on the way to your flight home, and all the formalities are taken care of.

For most tourists, there is no need to deal with customs forms - just go through the green (nothing to declare) channel when you pass through Customs, entering and leaving.

One practical note about passport control -- recently at Moscow airports, I have had a couple of hour plus waits getting through passport control. So I recommend making allowance for this, and especially to be plenty early arriving to the international airport or terminal for your flight back home.

2)Then i dont know if my friend can register someone with a tourst visa on his private adress.

If someone can help me with this ít will make my trip to russia much more conviniant.

RE: Russian Visa for US citizen in Turkey

romdur — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:40:04 GMT

For what it's worth, I just checked prices on round trips Istanbul to London, $298 in January by British Airways. But 2 weeks of lodging in England might be pretty expensive.

However you work this, best of luck!

Business visa, without business from UK

AdamS — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:24:31 GMT

Hi guys,

I've wanted to travel to Russia for a long time and now I've undertaken a gap year I can fulfill this ambition.

I intend to travel for 3 months at around March next year, after some research it seems that a single entry 90 day business visa would be suitable.

It does state in a variety of places, including this site, that one doesn't have to be travelling on business to obtain a business visa. However, the London consulate (and the company that does it for them) says that a company letter is required. As does sites such as realrussia.com, after the application form has been completed.

Anyone know a way round this? Or have gained a business visa without a company letter?

This site mentions a "youth connections" visa (I am 1 in the troubleshooter, how does one go about getting this?

Thanks for you help guys

RE: How long does it take to register a Visa?

camarks — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:10:07 GMT

In Moscow it can be nearly instantaneous [have your 1 ruble/day fee ready!] or take half an hour if the registration person is on a break. In some outlying areas it can take a couple of days, but often your passport will be photocopied and given back to you right away.

RE: Russia Passport Renewal

camarks — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:05:31 GMT

We went and visited my daughter's grandparents in the Murmansk region this past June and also had a great trip. We had to renew her Russian passport before we went. It had expired in April and I sent it and the application for a new passport to the consulate in early May. I was told it would take about a week and remember receiving everything as expected.

We were able to do the application in English, but I believe they must now be done in Russian and are a little more complicated, so allow time for translation etc. if you need this. The consulate also says that you should send the expired passport with the new application. I do not know if they will issue a new passport before the old one expires, so you might want to check on this before you send off your application.

Good luck,

RE: RUSSIA, VISA & COUCHSURFING

marzilia — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:32:06 GMT

I believe you are correct, although I don't have the "authoritative" answer either. The problem may be that sometimes people rent without being officially registered. At any rate, I posted the question on the Couchsurfing site and received the answer that I gave earlier. They generally don't do the registrations, but if they don't they will be able to refer you to an agency or agencies that will. At least there are options if your host can't or won't do the registration themselves.

Russian Business Visa in Tehran (Iran) or Astana (Kazakhstan

danielsprague — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:04:19 GMT

Has anyone, using the invitation from this site, got a Russian business visa from the consulates in Tehran or Astana?

Do they both demand an HIV test for a 6 month visa?

Thanks

RE: US Multi-entry Visa questions - group/individual?

camarks — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:23:54 GMT

I believe you must apply to the San Fransisco consulate, and you should do individual invitations. I did use a single cover letter for my wife and myself this summer, even though she arrived several days after I did. We had separate invitations.

Good luck,

I've had a look through the website and it states in several places that the invitation is for a hotel stay but doesn't state anything about staying with a friend in his apartment when I'm going for tourist purposes.

Registrations on arrival available

Uncle Pasha — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:13:15 GMT

For a while I've been registering travellers to my Moscow address with no problem to them and no ill consequences to me. Anybody needed registration is welcomed to contact me. Takes a couple of hours - a trip to the post office, standing in line, filling out a two page form in duplicate with no photocopying allowed, making photocopies, posting the stuff, and then mailing your registration slips to the Migration services when you are gone. Expected contribution to my losing cause is $50. Please write to paul_voytinsky@yahoo.com
