Obtaining a business visa for Russia is a two part process – first we need to obtain your invitation and then we need to apply for your visa. Business invitations for UK nationals must be issued through the Russian Federal Migration service or through the Russian Foreign Ministry.
To calculate the total cost for your visa, you need to add the cost for the invitation to the cost for the visa processing.
