Visit arrangements

How will be my visit organized by HOFA?


• Please fill up and send us a Lodging Request form. The same day we will advise you the availability, send you the price list and forward you to our Reservation Form.
  
• As soon as we receive your Reservation Form we will send you an invoice with addresses of suggested lodging and ask you to pay a deposit. The earlier you reserve your stay the better accommodation we will be able to arrange.
  
• Upon receipt of your deposit we will fax you a visa invitation and send you the full accommodation details.
• You will process your visa in a Russian consulate in your area by yourself, or with the help of a Visa Service (addresses to follow). We will register your visas upon your arrival.
• You will be asked to pay the balance in cash (€ or rubles at the rate of € purchase) after you accept your accommodation upon arrival. Rubles can be retrieved from the local ATMs.
