Russian visa invitation and e-visa assistance pricing

Tourist invitations start at EUR 24 per traveller. Prices never exceed an exact matching public-market tariff rounded down; Global Voyage rates remain where no equivalent offer exists.

Service information

The cheapest visa document is the one you did not need to buy. Pricing therefore starts with a free route check. If a regular tourist route really needs support, the invitation starts at EUR 24 per traveller and changes with passport nationality, inclusive trip length and entries. E‑visa application review is EUR 60 per traveller, with the official fee separate; the EUR 129 assisted package includes one standard official e‑visa application fee where payable. Insurance remains separate.

Russian Visa Letter is operated by Global Voyage, RTO 026330. For tourist support, Global Voyage does not hand the order to an unnamed voucher supplier: it prepares and issues the tourist voucher and confirmation directly.

Our pricing rule

Before paid work begins, the application summary, fixed payment link or written quote states:

  • the service and exact route;
  • total private-service fee;
  • currency and payment method;
  • what is included;
  • what is excluded;
  • delivery or review target;
  • what must happen before the timing starts;
  • correction and refund conditions;
  • any third-party or government fee known at that stage.

An exact calculated tourist-invitation or e‑visa assistance price is visible before passport number and biographical details. Business invitations, out-of-band durations and exceptional route cases still use a written quote. Travel-insurance requests show only an indicative minimum until age, dates, entries, cover and insurer acceptance are checked.

Service menu

Service How it is priced Core scope
Website route checker Free Preliminary e‑visa, invitation or manual-review direction
Tourist invitation · single entry From EUR 24 per traveller; separate 30- and 90-day prices by passport Data review, voucher and confirmation issued directly by Global Voyage, digital delivery and issue check
Tourist invitation · double entry From EUR 24 per traveller; separate 30- and 90-day prices by passport The same core service for an eligible two-entry itinerary
Tourist invitation · multiple entry From EUR 42 per traveller; passport-specific price up to 180 days Multiple-entry support up to 180 days, never an approval promise
Business invitation Case-specific fixed quote Host, purpose, channel, entries and timing assessment before issuance
E‑visa application review EUR 60 per traveller Eligibility, data, portrait and passport-page review before the applicant submits
Assisted e‑visa preparation EUR 129 per traveller, including one standard official application fee where payable Structured preparation, final checks and official-fee payment through the official route while the applicant controls the account
Travel medical insurance Indicative EUR 2 per traveller/day for trips up to 30 days; longer trips and the final policy require a written quote Policy search and certificate check for dates, territory, traveller and selected cover; the insurer remains the risk carrier
Corrections Per written policy Free where our issued output departs from correctly approved data; otherwise quoted
Manual complex-case triage Scope agreed first Identifies official or specialist route; not a substitute for legal representation

These prices pay for the named private service, not a visa decision. Government, consular, insurance, courier, visa-centre and bank fees remain separate unless the application summary and fixed payment link explicitly say otherwise.

Current tourist matrix

The calculator contains 196 passports × five products = 980 explicit cells: 30-day single, 30-day double, 90-day single, 90-day double and 180-day multiple. The iVisa public order widget was checked on 3 September 2026. It published 339 exact country/product prices across 76 passports; each matching price is capped at the EUR value rounded down to the whole euro, while an already lower internal price is retained. No advertising “from” price is substituted for a missing product.

The remaining 641 cells keep their Global Voyage database, Europe-group or country-review amount. Ranges are EUR 24–220 for either 30-day product, EUR 32–260 for 90-day single, EUR 35–260 for 90-day double and EUR 42–300 for 180-day multiple. The pricing change does not weaken fulfilment controls: the same 500 operationally verified cells can proceed to eligible automatic payment, while 480 cells still require operator review. Single/double trips over 90 days and multiple-entry trips over 180 days remain written-quote cases.

What changes the cost of an invitation

Invitation category

Tourist confirmation and a business invitation are produced through different routes. A business request may involve a host, official channel and lead time that do not exist in a standard tourist-support order.

Entries and duration

Single, double and multiple-entry requests can require different eligibility and processing. A longer or repeated travel pattern should be assessed rather than silently added to a basic product.

Nationality and application location

Reciprocity and consular practices can affect what route is available and which documents are accepted. The quote should describe the route it assumes.

Urgency

An expedited document option, where genuinely available, may cost more. “Urgent invitation” never means “urgent visa decision”; consular processing remains a separate clock.

Corrections or changed plans

A typo in supplied passport data is different from an issuer error. A new travel date after issuance is a change of plan. The written quote and correction policy should distinguish them.

What changes the cost of e‑visa assistance

The review is fixed at EUR 60 per traveller, with the official fee separate. The EUR 129 assisted package includes guided preparation and one standard official application fee where payable. Both scopes tell you whether they include:

  • initial eligibility and purpose check;
  • passport transcription review;
  • portrait and passport-image feedback;
  • review of all application sections;
  • one follow-up round;
  • guided session controlled by the applicant;
  • issued e‑visa and pre-travel check.

For the assisted package, Global Voyage arranges the included fee through the official process. The current official instructions describe that fee as non-refundable regardless of outcome and exempt children under six. An assisted application for a child under six is held for a written price adjustment before payment. The EUR 60 review follows the separate private-service terms and leaves official payment to the applicant. An ineligible trip is stopped before payment rather than converted into a paid e‑visa order.

Travel insurance price requests

For trips of up to 30 days, the order form can calculate an indicative EUR 2 per traveller/day, based only on travel dates and group size. Longer trips go directly to a written quote rather than silently stopping the calculation at day 30. The displayed number is not a bindable insurance premium. Birth year, exact dates, entries, required coverage, activities, destination wording and the insurer’s acceptance can change the final price.

The written offer must name the insurer, insured people, territory, dates, coverage limit, assistance contact, exclusions and final premium before purchase. Global Voyage can arrange the request and check the certificate; the named insurer, not the invitation issuer, carries the insured risk.

Costs that usually remain separate

Unless a written quote expressly includes them, budget independently for:

  • official e‑visa or consular fee, except the one standard e‑visa fee explicitly included in the assisted package;
  • visa application centre service charge;
  • travel medical insurance;
  • passport photographs;
  • translation, notarisation or legalisation where required;
  • courier or return postage;
  • transport and accommodation;
  • immigration lawyer or sanctions specialist.

One total can look convenient while hiding who controls each charge. A clear list is more useful.

Comparing providers fairly

Put quotes side by side using the same questions:

  1. What exact document or review will I receive?
  2. Who issues the invitation, and can I identify them?
  3. Does the service first check that I need it?
  4. When does delivery timing begin?
  5. Are official and third-party fees included?
  6. What happens if data is wrong?
  7. What happens if the route is unsuitable?
  8. Does anyone promise visa approval?

If one provider says “from 12” and another says “38 total,” those numbers are not comparable until scope, currency, taxes, entries and issuer are known.

Payment boundaries

We design the commercial flow around four boundaries:

  • no payment for the public route checker;
  • no hidden subscription;
  • no request for an official portal password;
  • no card details accepted through ordinary email or chat.

Payment instructions should identify the merchant and amount. A receipt should name the purchased service. If those two names do not make sense together, stop and ask.

A note on price and SEO promises

There is a market for pages that repeat “cheap Russian invitation” around a tiny number. There is also a market for travellers who discover at the consulate that cheap described only the first step.

We use “from” only where the next screen actually calculates the total. The route, issuer, price status and total belong together before sensitive passport details are submitted.

{ useful questions }

Questions people ask before they commit

How much does a Russian tourist invitation cost?

The tourist invitation starts at EUR 24 per traveller. Passport nationality, inclusive dates and entries select one of five product cells. The price never exceeds an exact public-market benchmark rounded down to the whole euro; an already lower price is kept.

Is the Russian government visa fee included?

The EUR 129 assisted e-visa package includes one standard official e-visa application fee where payable. The EUR 60 review, invitations, insurance, visa-centre charges and couriers remain separate cost categories unless an order explicitly says otherwise.

Do I pay for the route checker?

No. The website route checker is free and does not request passport numbers or uploads. A manual complex-case review may be quoted separately after its scope is clear.
