HOW TO GET RUSSIAN TOURIST VISA
I need Tourist visa to Russia. Where shall I start?
To get a Russian tourist visa you have to prepare a package of documents and apply to the nearest Russian Consulate.
The most essential item on the list of documents is visa invitation to Russia issued in a form of a voucher. It must be presented to the Russian Consulate either as the copy of high quality or in original. The visa invitation consists of two parts: standard tourist confirmation ("Podtverzdeniye") and a tour voucher.

My hotel in Russia is already booked. Do I still need a visa invitation?
Please note that hotel booking confirmation is normally not enough to apply for your visa to Russia. In most cases you still need a visa support document (an invitation).
However, if the hotel you booked is authorized to provide visa support for foreign citizens then the confirmation from such a hotel will be sufficient. There are very few hotels in Russia that may do this visa support (Radisson, Sheraton, Marriott and some others, please double-check at your hotel whether it provides such a service complimentary or not).
If your booking is made in a hotel without visa support services, to get a visa you should file a letter of invitation received in advance from an authorized tour company (Bronevik.com is such a tour company).
I have received my invitation. What shall I do next?
After you receive your visa invitation voucher to Russia you may proceed with the visa application itself. To obtain a visa you should submit to the Consular Section:

HOW TO GET RUSSIAN BUSINESS VISA
BUSINESS VISA TO RUSSIA: HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM TOURIST VISA?
Business visa to Russia may be of single-, double- and multi-entry type. Russian visa duration period may be 30 days, 90 days, 180 days or 365 days. Please note that visa duration period and period of your actual stay in Russia are not the same thing. The period of your stay is limited to 30 days (for single and double-entry visa holders) or to 90 days (for multi-entry visa holders). The US citizens, holders of multi-entry visa are allowed to stay for 180 days in a row.
Multi-entry business visa to Russia can be granted only to those applicants, who have already visited Russia before and had other simple visa types.
To get a Russian business visa you need official invitation. It may be issued either by a FMS (Russian Federal Migration Service) and have a form of paper document, or by an authorized inviting company in a form of a telex. Both invitations have equal validity. The difference between them is in its form: a FMS invitation is issued on an official paper and in most cases it has to be presented to a Russian consulate in original. It means that you will also need to apply for the post delivery of a FMS invitation.
However, some Consulates may accept a scanned version of a FMS invitation, so please contact your local Russian Consulate first to double check whether they need an original or a scanned invitation. Telex does not have any material form. It is prepared and sent to a Russian Consulate directly by an authorized inviting party. In case you order a telex invitation you do not need its delivery. When your telex is ready we’ll let you know its number and you report this number to a Russian Consulate when applying for visa with your full package of documents.
