RUSSIAN VISAS
The Russia House has been involved with procuring Russian Visas since 1970! We have a team with some forty years experience in facilitating and providing services to foster Russo-British Trade. To the uninitiated obtaining a visa can be a complicated and time consuming procedure and requirements can change, therefore early visa application is essential, applicants can apply up to 6 weeks prior to departure.

We manage to stay ahead of the game and are proud to state: Russian Visa Procurement - Success on Time - Every Time!
