Check these three things
  1. Name and passport data match character for character
  2. Trip dates and the number of entries are correct
  3. The issuer and tour-operator register details are readable

Common questions

Can an individual friend issue a tourist invitation?

Tourist confirmation is normally issued through an authorised Russian tourist host organisation. A private visit uses a different type of invitation and should not be relabelled as tourism without checking the proper category.

Does an invitation guarantee a Russian visa?

No. It supports the application. The competent authority can approve, refuse or request more evidence, and border control makes the final entry decision.

Can one invitation cover a family?

Each visa applicant needs to be correctly documented. A group may share itinerary and host details, but names, passport data and application records must be handled for each traveller.
