If somehow you have made a mistake in requesting your invitation, or you simply want to change your hotels, it is possible to modify your invitation letter before submitting your visa application at the visa center or at the Consulate. In this post I’ll explain you how to do it with these three tour operators: iVisa, Russia Support and HotelsPro.
When requesting your invitation letter to Russia with a tour operator, you must fill in correctly all the requested information. For this, it is important to ensure that the information in your passport matches exactly the information in the invitation letter. It is also important to include the name and address of your hotels or apartments and never include private addresses in a tourist visa application.
In any case, if you have made an error at the time of requesting the letter of invitation, or you need to modify any of the information contained there, you can do so as long as you have not submitted the visa application documentation at the Consulate, or the Russian Visa Center. Below I explain how to do it with these two tour operators:
iVisa
With this Russian tour operator, you can modify the information of your invitation letter yourself and generate a new one through its electronic system.
Then, when you obtain the invitation letter, they will send you an email with the invitations in PDF format. With this same email you will find a link through which you can modify the invitation letter yourself and generate a new one with the
The form allows you to modify both the hotels and your personal information: name, surname, passport number, validity of the passport and date of birth.
However, if you need to change the period of your stay or nationality, then you must send an email to support@ivisa.ru requesting the modification.
Important: if you have already processed your visa including your hotels, nothing will happen if once you obtain the visa you decide to cancel them and stay at other different hotels.
Russia Support
Any change must be requested by email to: hello@russia.support.
