This site is brought to you by Ost-West Kontaktservice and provides expert recommendations as well as practical information to those interested in travelling to Russia.

The chapter index is on your left. Most of the content is aimed at first time travellers but some of it might be of use to those who travel to Russia on business or who are going to work in Russia and join local expatriates.

The site is designed to represent a basic survival guide and help people to feel confident when dealing with such complex issues as an invitation to Russia, application for a Russian visa, various types of visas and choosing the right one, safety precautions, accommodation and much much more.

This site is the  little brother of our new big swanky site www.ostwest.com that will offer you help with anything and everything from your invitation and visa application to guide and transport bookings.
