Don't forget, that as well as any other visa type, business visa should be registered upon your arrival in 3 days period in OVIR (it is the organization which deals with tourists' documents, visas etc) or by any company that provides this service.

Visa processing fee is not refundable. Please, note that drop off day is not counted as a business day! Visa processing starts only after we have collected all necessary documents. If you apply by mail, please, allow one more day for processing. Same day or next day processing is only available if the volume of work technically permits. Any visa applicant may be interviewed by a consular officer if necessary. When you receive your visa please check it for mistakes (passport number, date of birth, validity) and, if necessary, return it to the Consulate for corrections. The Consulate will not be responsible for any mistakes in the visas, which were not brought to our attention prior to your departure. Please, note that visas cannot be changed or extended. If your travel plans changed after the visa issuance you have to reapply for a new visa. Processing time, requirements and fees are subject to change without notice.
