Tourist Voucher

A tourist voucher is a document confirming the booking of tourist services (accommodation, excursions) in Russia. It is part of the tourist invitation. Contains tourist data, itinerary, stay dates, and details of the hosting travel agency. Issued together with the confirmation of reception.

In Detail

A tourist voucher is one of two documents that make up the Russian tourist invitation (the other being the confirmation of reception). The voucher contains: tourist's full name, passport number, entry and exit dates, travel itinerary (cities of stay), and details of the hosting travel agency (name, tax ID, tour operator registry number). An electronic voucher has the same legal validity as a paper one and is accepted by all Russian consulates. When ordered online, the voucher and confirmation of reception are generated automatically and sent to your email as a PDF. Important: the data in the voucher must exactly match your passport details.
