It is possible to obtain this invitation in a tourist company that has its own reference-number. A tourist invitation is usually issued within 1 day. In this invitation there will be indicated a reference-number of the tour company, its name, as well as the passport data of the tourist, his/her itinerary and the cities he/she intends to visit. Such an invitation is issued on the letterheads of the tour company thus its outward appearance may vary in different companies.
The presence of a tourist invitation doesn’t guarantee the obtaining by a citizen of the Netherlands of a visa to Russia because there will be an investigation on whether this citizen had any breaking of the laws of the RF during his/her previous visits to Russia. If it is found out that he/she has got any unpaid fines, criminal records or deportations he/she will be refused from a visa. Moreover it may be required at the embassy that the foreigner would present the purchased documents, medical insurance or a hotel reservation.
In case everything is all right with the documents a tourist visa for a citizen of the Netherlands will be issued for a period of up to 30 days for a single or double entry.

Russian Private Visa for Dutch citizens
To enter Russia for visiting relatives or friends the citizens of the Netherlands may obtain a private visa. As the obtaining of this visa requires a very complicated procedure most foreigners usually prefer to apply for tourist visas (in case they do not plan to stay in Russia for a long time) or business visas (if they want to be coming to Russia frequently).

The complicated thing about a private visa is that it may take several weeks for an inviting party to obtain a guest invitation. In order to obtain it individuals or legal entities which invited a foreigner have to apply for it at a local department of the Federal Migration Service (the FMS). After checking a foreign citizen on having any unpaid fines or criminal records an inviting party will be given an invitation or will be refused in it with indicating a reason for that.
In case of a positive decision a private invitation is sent to the Netherlands by the express-mail in order to be given in to the embassy. A private visa is usually issued for a period of up to 90 days. It can be single or double.

Work visa for Dutch citizens
In order to have legal rights to work in Russia a citizen of the Netherlands has to obtain a work visa. This type of a visa is rather unusual as it can be extended each year for another 1 year without leaving Russia.

In order to have all documents properly issued a foreign citizen must be assisted by an employer located in Russia. It is the company-employer which obtains a work permit for a foreigner, as well as a business invitation for him/her. After arrival to Russia a citizen of the Netherland has to be registered at the migration service. The employer’s responsibility should be that the foreigner will not break any regulations that are compulsory for a foreigner. If a foreign citizen wants to change his/her employer he/she will have to leave Russia and apply for a new visa. The issuing procedure for all supporting documents required to obtain a work visa will take up to 1,5 months.
The visa will be issued initially for 90 days. However after the arrival to Russia a foreigner can have it extended to the end of his/her work permit.
