How do others get their VISA for russia? We're heading to Moscow, for 2 weeks of game. We're not doing the short stay ferry-visa thing from Finland to St Petersberg

I researched and it seems I need an official hotel, who can give me the 'Tourist voucher' and a 'Tourist confirmation' document stamped and signed by authorized person.

Then I submit here

I had hoped to go via Airbnb, but they declined to do that (I presume they don't want to register as an official hotel!)

Did you use the search function or google?

Book a chain hotel like Hilton in Moscow. Use the confirmation to get your voucher from a visa service. That should be $30-50. Then you can apply for the visa, which is another $180 or so. Then cancel the hotel. Don't get the voucher from the hotel.

Good idea. Has anyone done this in practice?
Visa is only £36 from UK Russian Embassy
