Tourist Visa and invitation
This visa type, which is the cheapest and the easiest to get, is issued to tourists, who have booked accommodation in Russia for non-business reason. It can be used for a short tour for a precise number of days up to maximum of thirty. Extension is not possible! Russian travel visas may be single and double entry. Single entry visa only permits you to enter and exit the country once. If you plan to travel outside of Russia and then to return you will need a double entry Russian travel visa, which is available at some Russian consulates but it costs more and the exact dates of both entries/exits from Russia are stated in it.
