Russian Invitations

For travel to Russia, all travelers must have a visa and an official Letter of Invitation approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, its regional representatives, or by an appropriate Russian Federation Migration Service Branch.  Russian entry requirements state that a Letter of Invitation must be submitted in order to obtain a Russian visa.
