TOURISM WITHOUT BORDERS. Certainly, strongest advertising course in
Attraction of foreigners to Russia there was an introduction simplified
Variant of tourist visas for the term of stay till 72 o'clock.
Issue such visa can only arriving to Moscow,
St.-Petersburg and Kaliningrad. Not a secret, that the Russian visas in
Foreign countries stand expensively enough (in France - $51, in
Greece - $90, in Israel - $90, in the USA - $70...) and its procedure
Registrations are occupied with a lot of time. Now foreign visitors
Can get to Russia all for $25 and it is direct in Russia.
Capital collars becomes existing since 1989 in

Consular gathering has arrived on $300 thousand) now will be
To start up all. However, to receive such visa, it is necessary
To have the voucher for placing in one of capital hotels. But in
Its some cases also it will be possible to get in the consular
Point, but only in the presence of places in hotel. So to rely on
Perhaps nevertheless it is not necessary. Besides, the foreigners who have arrived to Moscow
Thus, cannot leave for capital limits.
According to ours turbiznesmenov, this visa innovation
Should add sharply popularity to "day off rounds", and also
The quantity of short-term business trips will increase.
