Airport transfers
We are able to arrange transfers to and from the airport to the hotel.
You will be met by a driver. If you require a translator or a member
of the hotel staff to meet you please advise us.
Invitations and Registrations
We can issue invitations for your stay in Russia and then register you
on your arrival.
For your russian Visa application to enter the Russian Federation you
will need to be issued an invitation. This can be obtained directly from
your booking agent or from us.
Invitations can be faxed to you by us within 24 hours of request. They
cost $20. Registration once you arrive costs a further $20. Registration
needs to be done within 72 hours of your arrival and will normally mean
we will require your passport for a day.
Applying for a visa: This process can be done directly by yourself
or through your local travel agent for a fee. Standard processing time
takes normally 8-10 working days but the more costly express services
can be as quick as 3 days or 24 hours. Our advise is always leave plenty
of time to avoid disappointment caused by bureaucracy & red tape.
