VISA SUPPORT DOCUMENTS
VSC would be pleased to arrange your BUSINESS VISA SUPPORT
Due to ongoing changes in the Russian ministry's ways and means of issuing such documents, this process can take from two to 14 working days. We recommend applying for a TELEX visa support document to save time. Charges vary depending on the type and length of visa; from $200 to $455. Single entry business telexes can be acquired in 2 working days.
