Visa Application Tips

     To apply for your Russian visa successfully, try to fill out all the fields in the application form correctly. Do not forget to name each city or village you intend going to. Make sure you enter in the entry and departure date, as your Russian visa cannot be done without these dates. You can leave the following questions blank: "Department or organization to be visited", "Do you have medical coverage valid in Russia?"

Service Guarantee and Liability

     We provide Full Russia Visa Services and take care of every step in your visa application process. However, we do not issue Russian visas ourselves and, therefore, cannot guarantee that the Consulate will issue a visa.
     In the event that we have already submitted your application to the Russian Consulate when you cancel your order, or in the unlikely event that your visa application is denied, we will not be able to provide a refund.
     We are not responsible for lost, damaged or stolen visas or documents sent by mail.

The answer is quick and simple - yes
