Tourist Visa Support Is Not the Visa Itself
A tourist confirmation or visa support document does not constitute a Russian visa.
It is supporting documentation that may be used as part of the visa application procedure.
The visa application must still be submitted through the competent Russian diplomatic mission, consular authority or visa application channel applicable to the traveler.
The final decision on whether a visa is issued always belongs to the competent Russian authorities.
