Getting a Russian Visa - Everything you need to know

 Assemble your Visa Collection Pack for the Russian Consulate
 
Q7.1  What do I put in my Visa Collection Pack?
  Tourist applicants must submit their passport [copies are not accepted], a clear copy of their visa invitation, one recent passport photograph [send two just in case], and a completed Russian Consulate Application Form signed and dated.

Business applicants must also submit their passport, photographs and Russian Consulate Application Form [with their telex reference number written on the top], but they must also include a supporting letter from their employer signed by a senior member of staff endorsing the applicant's proposed trip[s] to Russia. Applicants cannot sign their own letters.

Q7.3  Is an AIDS test required?
  A recent AIDS clearance certificate has been a requirement for several years at certain Russian Consulates usually only for 6-month and 12-month business visas, and rumours abound in 2005 that this requirement is to be expanded. Check with your local Russian consulate for details.
