After receiving your visa invitation or voucher, you should bring or send a copy of it along with other accompanying documents (listed below) to a Russian Embassy or Russian Consulate in your country.

Before sending in your documents to the Russian Consulate, we suggest that you call the Embassy or Consulate or check its web site to receive information related to processing in your country. Some Russian Consulates will request the original of the visa invitation instead of a copy. This is the usual practice for business visas, however sometimes a telex can be sent to the Russian Consulate.

If you discover that the original invitation or voucher is required by the Russian Consulate, please tell us and we will send it to you by express post. We require that Express postage be paid by the customer.
