Ivitation to Russia?

Can some one please advise me of an reliable 'seller' of one of those invites to Russia. I assume they're a cheap hotel booking?

Are these invites looked at when you're entering Russia, or is just viewed when you're getting your visa? Are they really accepted by consulates ( in my case, in Australia)

For tourist visa

the easiest way is to have a fully organised trip booked. Never mind, you will not be bothered by it, you just need to include the voucher with the visa application, to show that you are fully cared for during your stay in Russia. Once inside, nobody bothers with it. If you have the visa, nobody cares about the paperwork that precedes it.
So, find an agency that can provide the full service of obtaining the voucher and arranging the visa application. Of course this costs some money, but saves a lot of hassle.

Contact David Bergof at Stan Tours.
He got me a Russian Visa no problem, and several travel companions as well.
You won't need any Russian tour booking or anything else for the invite.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
