What is RusViza?

What is a Russia Tourist Visa Invitation?

A Russia Tourist Visa Invitation (also known as a Tourist Voucher and Confirmation) is an official document issued by authorised Russian tourism companies. It is one of the mandatory documents required when applying for a Russian Tourist Visa at the respective Russian Embassy or Consulate.

RusViza coordinates the preparation of these invitation documents through its trusted partner network in Russia.

How long does invitation processing take?

Our standard target processing time is within 2 hours after:

Complete documents are received
Payment is successfully confirmed
All information has been verified

Processing times may be extended during Russian public holidays, weekends, or if additional verification is required.

What documents are required?

To process your Russia Tourist Visa Invitation, you generally need:

Passport copy (clear scanned copy)
Hotel booking confirmation
Air ticket or flight booking

Additional documents may be requested depending on your travel itinerary or nationality.

Which payment methods do you accept?

All payments are processed securely through trusted payment gateways.

What is your refund policy?

Invitation processing begins after payment and receipt of complete documents.

Once a Tourist Visa Invitation has been issued, the invitation fee becomes non-refundable.

Visa refusal by the Embassy does not qualify for a refund because visa approval remains entirely at the discretion of the Russian Embassy or Consulate.

If an error occurs due to RusViza or one of our processing partners, we will make every reasonable effort to correct the issue.
