There are two types of Russian Visas available for travel to Russia; Vacation and Home Stay.
A Tourist visa
requires a hotel to confirm your presence in their establishment. The Tourist Visa is based on the premise that you will be staying at a hotel or on an organized tour. The Hotel you will be staying with will send you a confirmation of your stay which you attach with your Visa application (meaning you book the hotel then apply for the visa).
A Home Stay Visa
This V
isa requires your girlfriend to submit an invitation on your
behalf, then send the approved application to you so you can apply
for a Visa. The process is more lengthy than a vacation visa but it
has extended benefits. Longer time periods are allowed, you can stay
where you like as long as you check in at their Immigration offices
once in a town, and you have more time to schedule the visit. If
your Fiancée has applied for you to stay with her, then you will
attach this document (obtained by her from her local OVIR office)
with your Visa application.
