Tourist visa is the most effortless way to visit Russia since this type of invitation to visit Russia for Jordanian takes within 1 working day. It can be obtained from any travel agency assigned with an individual reference number.

The law abstains from specifying how the support letter for tourist visa application should appear. Each authorized travel company is entitled to print invitation letters on their official letterhead. However, it is a requirement that the letter consists of two items: tourist voucher and reservation confirmation from the place where the tourist will be accommodated. The document must also provide all personal data of the Jordanian applicant as well as his/her itinerary in Russia, entry date and departure date, the travel company’s official name and reference number and the number of entries requested.

Travel agencies do not conduct any checks to determine whether the citizen of Jordan in question abided the Russian law during his/her prior visits. Therefore, availability of invitation letter does not at all guarantee that the visa will be granted. If the Embassy finds out the Jordan citizen is known to break the law of the Russian Federation on his previous trips or has been deported from Russia in the past, his/her application will be refused.

If all documents are processed successfully and no violations are observed during the inspection, the Jordanian citizen will be granted a 30 days visa. Holders of tourist visa can enter Russia once or twice.
