Russian Visa Question

    Hi guys, wondering can anybody help me with this issue. I am currently trying to obtain a russian homestay visa. I have a friend who is currently working in russia on a work visa. He is not a russian citizen, and has only been in the country less than a year. Can he send me a letter of invitation or is he authorised to do so?

    Any hotel will do it for you if you stay in one.
    I'd be surprised if a letter from a non russian citizen will suffice but would guess any friend of your pal's who is a russian might do.
    Theres an embassy in Ireland who will clarify.

    Homestay visas are much more hassle than normal tourist ones. You might want to consider getting a normal visa. Instead of an invitation from someone in Russia, you need one from a travel agency - there is even one in Dublin specializing in that. Once in Russia, you go to one of the places that handle visa registration and register there.
