... in response to Russian Invitation/Visa, posted by jrm on Apr 7, 2004I use
http://www.go-russia.com/for my travel voucher(invitation). I apply for the visa myself because it isn't difficult and is usually much cheaper than any service will do it for me.
They've always listed a hotel in the city(Volgograd and Vladivostok) that I was going to on the voucher. I've never stayed in a hotel to register my visa. I've always paid the hotel $5-10 USD for the registration and that was it. Other's experiences may vary.
