Best Hotels Russia can easily help you with your Russian visa for your hotel stay in Russia
Russian Visa
Best Hotels Russia can assist you in obtaining a Russian tourist visa invitation or Russian business visa invitation.
Russian Consulates and Embassies require a Russian visa invitation (sometimes called a voucher) in order to issue foreigners a Russian visa. Best Hotels Russia can quickly provide you with this invitation for both Russian tourist visas and for Russian business visas. Best Hotels Russia will issue the visa invitation or voucher and send it to you via email, fax or by post (when necessary). Customers that opt for visa support only must pay directly to the Russian Consulate all processing fees themselves and also send or bring in their documents to the Russian Consulates personally.

Applying for your Russian Visa
After receiving your visa invitation or voucher, you should bring or send a copy of it along with other accompanying documents (listed below) to a Russian Embassy or Russian Consulate in your country.
Before sending in your documents to the Russian Consulate, we suggest that you call the Embassy or Consulate or check its web site to receive information related to processing in your country.

To find out the telephone numbers and addresses of Russian Consulate please visit www.RussianConsulate.org
If you discover that the original invitation or voucher is required by the Russian Consulate, please tell us and we will send it to you by express post. We require that Express postage be paid by the customer.

New visa regulations
1. A foreign citizen can obtain a visa to Russia ONLY in the country of his/her citizenship. Exceptions include those who have a residence permit for a foreign country for the period more than 90 days.
A visa may also be issued in a country other than an applicant's own in case of urgent necessity, such as participating in international, governmental, official, scientific, sport and cultural events. A final decision in these cases would be left up to the consulate.
2. A multiple entry business visa allows nationals of all countries to stay in Russia up to 90 days out of the period of 180 days.
Registration of your Russian Visa
Russian law requires that travelers register their visas if they are staying in Russia more than 3 business days. If travelers are staying in Russia more than 3 business days they should apply for registration immediately upon arrival (on the same day). Travelers who do not have their visas registered are required to pay fines when they attempt to exit Russia or if they are stopped by the police.
- If you are staying at a hotel, the hotel will register your visa.
- If you are staying at an apartment you will have to apply to a local migration department (OVIR) to have your visa registered.
