Help!!!!
I have booked my air ticket and all to Russia but not beig able to get a visa support letter. Seems the traditional agencies do not give a visa support letter to holders of Indian passport (labelled high risk apparently)
Can anyone recommend an agency that will?
TIA
I'd try to contact the embassy of the Russian Federation in New Delhi and ask them what agencies they recommend.
As far as I know each embassy has an approved list of travel agancies from where they accept the LOI(visa support letter).
Hi
Try to use on-line agency

Good luck!
thanks everybody.
I have finally managed to get it from OSTWEST.COM
I have got my visa too. Almost all the other agencies would not give it to Indians.
dexplorer, can you please let me know if you need the original hard copy of the invitation letter for visa issuance? How much it costs you including issuing the letter and sending the hard copy by post, if you were forced to take that route by embassy?
From which embassy you got the visa and for how many days?
I am an Indian passport holders too and interested to know about this part of Russian Visa, my targeted consulate will be Kolkata.
Thanks for all help
Ditto above!....dexplorer, I am planning on a trip either Feb or March. If you can provide your visa experience it would help me a lot. Thank you!
There are websites where you can get this document electronically quickly and for less than 10 euros.
A web page that quickly get the visa support and referred to in many blogs Destination travel is Russia. On this website costs about 16 euros an entry visa. In the form you can see all the hotels by cities.
But the choice I've used it recently has not been this but in Hotels Pro. This is a Russian company registered as a tour operator whose business is based on the emission of the support visa in transportation services and ticket sales tickets.
This company offers to each of its partner hotels reservation system itself. Depending on the hotel you access the associated costs vary. The cheapest I've found on the website of visa management Googol Mogol Hotel St. Petersburg. You perform the procedure for 600 rubles (about 9 euros at the current exchange rate of 1 euro / 65 rubles) and in less than 24 hours you will have your invitation letter by email ready to print.
To get you to enter their website: http://hotels-pro.ru/order/gogolmogol
