For your nationality, requesting this invitation takes at least 24 hours on weekdays.
There is a chance that the consul invites you for an interview or that he rejects your application. In the event of a rejection of your visa application by the consulate, we will not get back the money that we have already paid for your invitation and visa. We are not liable for damage suffered as a result of a decision by the consulate, you will then have to pay our invoice. A consulate only refuses your visa after the Russian ministry has instructed the consulate to do so. In practice, this means the following: with the correct documents the consulate will accept your request and start the procedure. It is possible that during the procedure the consulate will be informed by the Russian ministry that there are additional questions for you as an applicant. This can result in an interview at the consulate. Often the procedure is resumed after the interview but keeps it in mind that the consul will decide to refuse your visa application. The consulate is authorized to refuse the application without reason and restitution of costs already incurred.
