Common questions about Russia visa applications

Do I need an invitation voucher to get a Russia tourist visa? +
Yes. Every Russia tourist visa application requires a valid invitation voucher issued by a registered Russian tour operator or hotel. You do not need to arrange this yourself — obtaining the invitation voucher is included in our service. Bring your passport, ID, and travel dates to our office and we handle the rest.
What health insurance is required for a Russia visa? +
Russia requires proof of medical insurance valid for the full duration of your stay and covering the entire territory of Russia. The policy must show a minimum coverage amount. Travel insurance policies that include emergency medical coverage typically satisfy this requirement. Bring your insurance documents to our counter and we will confirm the policy meets the consulate's specifications before submission.
What is the difference between single, double, and multiple entry Russia visas? +
A single entry visa allows one entry into Russia. A double entry visa lets you leave and re-enter once — useful if your itinerary crosses into Belarus or another neighboring country. A multiple entry visa (up to 3 years) allows unlimited entries within the validity period. The consulate fee differs for each. Call us at (310) 402-1619 and we will confirm which type fits your itinerary.
How fast can I get a Russia visa from Los Angeles? +
The Russian consulate offers four processing speeds: regular (approximately 10 business days), 3-day rush, 2-day rush, and same-day. Each has a different consulate fee — same-day costs $960 in consulate fees alone. Our service fee is $199 for regular or $249 for urgent. Call us at (310) 402-1619 with your travel date and we will confirm which speed is realistic for your timeline.
Can non-U.S. citizens apply for a Russia visa through your Los Angeles office? +
Yes, if you are a legal resident of the United States. Bring your valid foreign passport, your U.S. green card or valid U.S. visa as proof of legal status, and all other documents listed for your visa type. Requirements vary by nationality, so call us at (310) 402-1619 before coming in and we will confirm exactly what you need.
