IVC NEWS FOR CUSTOMERS:

Our visa service is located at the Russian National Tourist Office premises. This has enabled us to provide a faster service and be more effective in solving emergencies and problems which clients sometimes face. It does not affect the rates, we keep them stable and lowest!

NEWS FROM THE RUSSIAN CONSULATE:

1) NEW! Effective April 1, 2004 US citizens are required to submit a new visa application form to Consulate. The new form is implemented on the basis of reciprocity and replaces the previous Standard Application Form and Supplemental Form.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT REGISTERING RUSSIAN VISAS.
Russian visas must be registered in the first 3 business days after your arrival. This can be done either at your hotel free of charge, OR at our downtown Moscow or St. Petersburg offices on the spot. If you're not staying at a hotel, you will need to register your visa with our office in Russia. Registration fee is currently $30 payable locally, we'll send you registration instructions with your issued visa.

Again, we express our hope that you would not blame us for those formalities - as a travel company we are just doing our best to make up for the problems that governments create...

Thank you for using IntourVisa for traveling to Russia!
