Not any tourist company can issue an invitation but only the one registered with the Tourist Operators Register of the RF. The outward appearance of such invitation has not been legally fixed so each firm can print it on its own letterhead.

Wherein an invitation must contain the following information:

  • Name of a tourist company, its legal address and a reference-number;
  • Passport data of a tourist;
  • The itinerary of the trip;
  • Names of the hotels a tourist is planning to stay at;
  • Date of entry and date of departure from the RF;
  • Number of entries. 

The embassy or a consulate will check whether a foreigner was law-abiding during his/her previous visits to the RF.  If it is found out that he/she had any deportations from the country or had any serious violations of the Russian laws he/she will be refused in a visa despite the issued invitation. Otherwise, if all documents are fine and the truthfulness of the information performed by the citizen of Pakistan was confirmed he/she will be given a visa allowing him/her to stay in the RF for the term up 30 days.
