Any travel company licensed by the Federal Register of Tour Operators of Russia (having a unique reference number) Is entitled to offer the service of arranging visa invitation letters. No particular design template exists for visa invitations, this is why each travel agency prints them on their letterheads and the design of each letter is different.

Tourist visa support letters consist of two parts — a tourist voucher and a tourist confirmation. This document must include the company's registration information and the invited person's details, including his/her itinerary, travel dates and the number of entries he/she requests.

Travel company is not authorized to conduct any checks, this is why having a visa invitation prepared doesn't mean the visa will be granted. When applying for a tourist visa, we advice foreign citizens to have flight tickets, confirmation of accommodation and medical insurance policy in hand. Additional documents may be requested in some cases.

Citizens of Yemen are eligible for tourist visas valid for 30 days or less. Tourist visas can be single- or double-entry.
