Each tourist invitation should contain the following information:

• Name of the company, its legal address and a reference-number;
• Passport data of a foreigner;
• The estimated itinerary of a trip (i.e., names of cities in Russia);
• Places of accommodation (i.e., hotels);
• Dates of entry and departure.

Tourist visas to the Russian Federation for foreign citizens are valid for 30 days and can be single or double entry.
