FMS Invitations Update for Russian Visa
Dear Clients,
Kindly be advised that the technical problems with the FMS new database have not been solved as of today. No official information is given, but we expect it to last at least a week more.
As of now, the most affected visa support is single/double paper invitations for 1/3 months with processing period with 6 days.
We do not recommend ordering these invitations at FMS until a further notice and will be removing them from our corporate interface.
The recommended visa support for all time sensitive requests are:
- tourist vouchers
- letters from authorized companies
- letters from Chamber of Commerce
- telexes from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
We very much hope that the Federal Migration Service will resolve its technical difficulties as soon as possible so that it does not affect the processing terms in the future.
Please be assured that we are doing our utmost best to remedy the situation and get the invites out the earliest possible. We will keep you posted.
Kind regards,
Visa Service Department
