Invitation support matched to the visa purpose
A Russia visa invitation is not one universal document. The suitable invitation depends on whether the trip is for tourism or genuine business activity. We review the purpose first and then explain the available route.
The invitation details must match the passport and planned application. Dates, name spellings, passport number and travel purpose should be checked before processing.
Typical information and documents to prepare
- Clear passport data-page copy
- Exact intended travel dates
- Cities and accommodation or host details where applicable
- Purpose of travel
- Company information for business travel where applicable
Requirements can change and may differ by nationality, travel purpose and application location. We confirm the working checklist before you proceed.
Tourist and business invitation services
Tourist invitation support is intended for suitable tourist visa applications. Business invitation support is intended for eligible commercial travel. We do not recommend using one category for a different travel purpose.
An invitation is not a visa
The invitation is a supporting document. It does not itself grant entry or guarantee visa approval. The visa application must still be completed through the applicable official process, and the final decision rests with the competent authorities.
