3. INVITATION

If you need a Russian visa for business purposes, it is essential to present an official invitation letter from Russia. This document is essential to the success of your visa application. You can consult us at Visa Express to get a Russian Business invitation letter for you. People with an invitation from the Russian government need to submit the original copy. However, this is not necessary if you have an electronic invitation. It is essential for people with a Telex to apply for a visa in the city where the Telex was approved. The city might not be the same as where your visa was processed, and this can pose some challenges.

People with direct invitations (who have their invites straight from the host company) in Russia must ensure that the document complies with the following structure and criteria:

• The letter must be clearly written in Russia with the company’s letterhead paper
• The letter must be addressed to Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Houston
• The letter must carry the official seal of the company
• There must be the full name of the host organization with a complete and verifiable address. Besides, the full name of the signatory to the document must be present
• If the host is a legal enterprise, the taxpayer identification number must be submitted
• The document must request a 3-year multiple-entry Russian visa. It must list the applicant’s complete name, date of birth, passport number, gender, citizenship, proposed number of entries, the reason for travel, the intended destination, cities and places to be visited, and the period the applicant will stay in Russia
• There should be the exact date (entry and exit) of the 36 months visa (for example, April 10, 2021, to April 9, 2024)
• The Tax ID number of the Russian company displayed (TIN number)
• Have a signature, stamp, and date of the company’s director with the full name and post designation
