This site is brought to you by Ost-West Kontaktservice and provides expert recommendations as well as practical information to those interested in travelling to Russia.

The chapter index is on your left. Most of the content is aimed at those people who are not sure about how everything works in Russia and need some help and advice.

It starts with your invitation as this is a very confusing bit for many who intend to travel to Russia. Some think that a letter of invitation is actually a Russian visa but unfortunately it is not.

Some other stages that people find difficult to come to terms with are the process of getting your Russian visa and sorting out your place to stay. Its all in here too, including answers on some minor but frequently asked questions mostly about getting to Russia and getting around once there.

This site is the little brother of our new big swanky site www.ostwest.com that will offer you help with anything and everything from your invitation and visa application to guide and transport bookings.
