WHO QUALIFIES FOR NONVISA ENTRY INTO RUSSIA?

  • If you are arriving to St. Petersburg Russia by ship and staying in Russia for 3 days or less, then you qualify for Russian Tour Families nonvisa entry program with a one of us as your Russian tour guide.

  • Traditional visa support documents are also available if you aren't arriving to Russia by cruise ship.
HOW DOES A NONVISA WORK AND WHY DOES IT SAVE SO MUCH MONEY?

  • Savings for selecting the nonvisa entrance are done in the following way.  Your cost for a nonvisa program from us is only a few dollars.  You do not need a traditional visa with this program!!!  Traditional visas are expensive and the cost per person is obtained by adding $131 for the actual visa,  plus $35 for the required visa support document, plus $50 for each passport to be delivered to the embassy by a specific service (new requirement as of Sept 8, 2008), and a small amount for postage to mail your passport back and forth to the courier service.  All this information can be confirmed at the Russian Embassy website.  Since traditional visas are so expensive and this program is so cost effective, your savings are substantial.

  • If organized shore excursions with a Russian tour guide are purchased through us, we are able to obtain nonvisa entrance documents for a fraction of the expense of conventional visa.

  • We pass these savings onto you when you hire one of us as your Russian tour guide.

  • Prior to your arrival to Russia by ship, you'll receive an email with a nonvisa entrance voucher.  Take this voucher to passport control when you get off the ship.  Once you pass through passport control.  From there you'll begin the tour!

Another benefit is that there is far less paper work and red tape than with a traditional visa.  As your  experienced Russian tour guides we take care of all the applications and procedures, so you don't have to worry about making a mistake.  All you'll have to do is bring the Russia tour voucher we send you to passport control and I will be waiting for you on the other side of passport control as your
tour guide in Russia!
