If you are planning to travel to Russia on vacation or a
short-term language course for a period of up to 30 days,
your best choice is a tourist visa. It is an exit-entry visa
that states the dates on which you are allowed to stay in
Russia and allows only one entry to the country. Please, note
that this visa cannot be extended upon your arrival. Therefore,
if you are planning to stay longer than 30 days, you should
apply for a different type of visa.
A tourist visa invitation is required to apply for this type
of visa. This invitation can be issued by any authorized travel
agency in Russia that has a reference number at the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs (MFA). This is how a Tourist visa invitation
