The Russian Federation, Russia, is a transcontinental country in Eurasia with many interesting cities and popular touristic attractions such as the Hermitage Museum, St. Peter’s square, the Bolshoi Ballet, and the Red Square in Moscow. Russia is the country with the largest surface area in the world and cover more than one-eighth of the inhabited land mass of the Earth.

Visitors to Russia will indisputably require an invitation letter before being accepted into the country and the Visa process can last for a very long time due to tough government regulation. To get a Visa to visit Russia, tourists need to secure their stay at a Russian-based hotel or with tour operators registered with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After completing that crucial step, there will be many other complicated stages to get through before passing the application. Because of the tough non-friendly visitor regulations, a number of people are often discouraged from visiting Russia.
