Russian visa support

All tourists who are travelling to Russia must obtain a Russian visa, with the exception of visitors whose countries have a visa-free agreement with Russia.

Should you require a visa to enter the Russian Federation, our reservations team can provide you with the necessary information and support to ensure your visit to Russia is as seamless as possible.

After you receive confirmation of your booking at Corinthia St Petersburg, please

1. Complete this Visa Support Request Form and send this with your booking confirmation to reservations.stpetersburg@corinthia.com. We will issue a hotel voucher and visa support letter.

2. Begin your online visa application.

3. Once you have printed your online visa application, all your documents must be taken to your nearest Russian Consulate.

Please note: Our hotel provides this service free for all guests who arrive at the hotel. Should the reservation be cancelled or the guest does not arrive, a fee of €60 will be charged automatically to the credit card for each person who receives a visa support letter.
