An official document issued by a tourist-confirmation provider or company, required to apply for a Russian visa at any consulate worldwide.
A visa invitation (also called a visa support letter, priglashenie, or tourist confirmation) is the primary document required by Russian consulates to process a tourist or business visa application. It is provided as a tourist-confirmation document (Rosturizm) or by a Russian company accredited with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).
For tourist visas, the invitation consists of two parts: (1) the Tourist Voucher (putevka) and (2) the Confirmation of Reception of Foreign Tourists. Both documents together confirm that a Russian travel agency has arranged accommodation and an itinerary for the applicant.
For business visas, the invitation can take several forms: an original FMS letter, an electronic FMS invitation with barcode, a TELEX number sent to the consulate, or a company letterhead invitation.
The visa invitation does NOT grant entry to Russia by itself — it is only used to apply for the visa at a consulate. Once the visa is issued, the invitation is no longer needed for travel.
