If you intend to travel to Russia for Tourist reasons you must submit a Visa Support Voucher or Travel Voucher issued from an authorized Russian agency registered with the Russian Foreign Ministry. These Vouchers are issued on a wholesale level and resold through US Travel Agencies and Travel Professionals. Often they are done less professionally than they should be which can result in risks to the applicant getting a visa to travel to Russia.

RJR can secure the Russian Voucher for you at a very reasonable cost. However, if you choose to submit a visa through RJR and submit your own Voucher you must accept the risks associated with doing so. If the Voucher is wrong the Visa will be wrong also; if the Voucher dates are wrong for example it will always follow that the Visa dates will be wrong.

Your visa application processing cannot start until the Confirmation and Voucher has been issued and received, information from the document is needed to answer questions on the Russian online visa application form.

Our company has secured a relationship with a Russian Vendor who safely and authoritatively issues Visa Support Vouchers for our customers which are issued in minutes. We highly recommend that you add this service to your order with us. You can do this by clicking on the BUTTON ABOVE and add it to your order today or call us at 800 783-8472.

We also offer Visa Support for the Russian 3 year visa. The 3 year visa is preferred by many of our clients who return to Russia frequently or intend to stay for longer than 30 days after entering Russia. You can also order the 3 Year Voucher by adding it to your order or calling our toll free number.
