Moscow is a beautiful city with some interesting historic attractions, like the imposing fortress of the Kremlin and the iconic onion-shaped domes of  St. Basil’s Cathedral.  However, if you want to visit Moscow to see the sites, you will need to obtain a Russian tourist visa first.

This is not as easy as it sounds. Russia has a visa system that the US Department of State’s website calls “restrictive and complicated.”  Here’s a list of what you need to get a Russian tourist visa:

• Your passport.
• A completed visa application form
• 1 passport photo
• A copy of your airline tickets or a copy of your itinerary showing your flight number and the dates that you’ll be in Russia.
• A tourist invitation from a Russian travel agency or hotel that can serve as your visa sponsor. The hotel or travel agency  must be registered with the Russian government.
• A hotel voucher from your hotel.

The Russian visa system can be difficult to navigate on your own.
