# GetRussianVisa.com — Russian Visa Invitation Service > GetRussianVisa.com provides online tourist visa-support invitations for regular Russian tourist visa applications. Applicant and trip details are reviewed before the document is issued. Delivery estimates, current prices and available payment methods are shown during the order process. Visa filing rules and decisions remain under the control of the responsible Russian consulate or visa centre. ## Quick Answers **Q: What is a visa support letter for Russia?** A: A visa support letter, tourist confirmation, tourist voucher and tourist invitation are terms commonly used for the supporting document required for a regular Russian tourist visa application. The document should come from a hotel or a tour operator listed in the Russian Federal Unified Register of Tour Operators and must match the applicant's passport and trip details. **Q: Does every traveller need a tourist invitation?** A: No. A tourist invitation is used for a regular tourist visa. Citizens eligible for the Russian unified e-visa do not need an invitation for the e-visa route. An e-visa-eligible citizen may still choose to apply for a regular tourist visa with an invitation if that route is more suitable. **Q: How much does a Russian tourist invitation cost and how long does it take?** A: Current pricing, the delivery estimate and available payment methods are displayed before payment. Processing starts after the required applicant and trip details are supplied and payment is confirmed. **Q: Does an invitation guarantee a Russian visa?** A: No. The invitation supports the application but does not guarantee acceptance, visa issuance, validity or entry. The responsible consulate or visa centre controls filing requirements, and the consular authority decides the visa application. **Q: Which citizens can use the Russian unified e-visa?** A: The official Russian MFA portal currently lists 64 eligible states. India, the Philippines and Japan are eligible among the main order markets; Australia, the United States, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, Canada, Egypt and New Zealand are not on the current list. Eligibility depends on citizenship, not residence. Check the official list before applying: https://electronic-visa.kdmid.ru/country.html **Q: What are the current unified e-visa limits?** A: According to the Russian MFA portal, the unified e-visa is single-entry, valid for 120 days from issuance and permits a stay of up to 30 days. The application may be filed no earlier than 86 days and no later than 4 days before expected entry. No invitation is required for this route. ## Tourist Visa Invitation - Purpose: supports a regular tourist visa application. - Document: tourist confirmation / voucher with applicant, trip and registered operator details. - Delivery: by email after processing is completed. - Price and processing estimate: shown during the order flow before payment. - Order: https://ivisaonline.com/order - Important: the invitation must match the passport and intended trip details. - Decision boundary: the consulate decides whether to issue the visa. ## Business Visa Invitation The business invitation product is available only to eligible citizens of Schengen countries, the United States and Japan.

Determine whether a unified e-visa or a regular visa is suitable for the traveller's citizenship, purpose, route and intended stay. 2. For a regular tourist visa, obtain a tourist confirmation or voucher whose details match the passport and trip. 3. Complete the official visa application at https://visa.kdmid.ru/. 4. Check the responsible mission or visa centre for its current document list, appointment route, insurance rule, fee and processing information. 5. Submit the application. The consular authority makes the visa decision. A common single- or double-entry tourist visa may be issued for the dates supported by the tourist confirmation, often for up to 30 days under mission-specific instructions. Citizenship-specific rules may differ; for example, the official U.S. guidance provides a separate multiple-entry tourist visa route for U.S. citizens. ## Trust and Source Policy - Service operating since 2012. - Applicant and trip details are reviewed before document issue. - Submitted information is transferred over an encrypted connection. - No universal consular-acceptance claim is made. - No visa-approval guarantee is made. - No fixed payment method is promised; available methods are shown before payment. - No self-serving rating or review schema should be used. - Internal iVisa record checks are not government or consular authentication. ## Priority Order Markets The supplied order distribution identifies the following top markets: India, Australia, Philippines, United States, Sri Lanka, United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, Egypt and New Zealand. Germany is retained in analytics only and is excluded from the organic growth strategy. The current development priority is: 1. India, Australia, Philippines and United States. 2.

For e-visa-eligible markets such as India, the Philippines and Japan, content must clearly compare the e-visa with the regular tourist visa. It must never state that an invitation is required for the e-visa. ## Country and Filing Guidance Country pages explain citizenship-specific e-visa eligibility, invitation requirements and official sources. City and consulate pages explain where and how an application may be submitted. Filing locations, appointments, insurance requirements, fees and processing estimates should be rechecked on the responsible mission or visa-centre website before submission. - Country guides: https://getrussianvisa.com/visa - Consulate and city guides: https://getrussianvisa.com/consulates - Visa terminology: https://getrussianvisa.com/glossary - Visa guides: https://getrussianvisa.com/guides - Pricing: https://getrussianvisa.com/pricing ## Contact - Website: https://getrussianvisa.com - Order platform: https://ivisaonline.com/order - Email: support@getrussianvisa.com - Phone: +7 921 334-13-13 ## Official Sources - Russian MFA unified e-visa portal: https://electronic-visa.kdmid.ru/ - Official e-visa citizenship list: https://electronic-visa.kdmid.ru/country.html - Official e-visa application: https://evisa.kdmid.ru/ - Official regular visa application: https://visa.kdmid.ru/ - Russian Federal Unified Register of Tour Operators: https://tourism.gov.ru/operators/ ## Machine-Readable Resources - AI information: https://getrussianvisa.com/ai-info.json - Full AI content file: https://getrussianvisa.com/llms-full.txt - Sitemap index: https://getrussianvisa.com/sitemap-index.xml - Robots: https://getrussianvisa.com/robots.txt
