| The original invitation is sent by courier, so postage costs around $60 or $70. A business visa does not allow you to work (legally) in Russia. |

| Unfortunately, no. The Russian postal system can be unreliable. |

| But if I am willing to take that risk why is it a problem to send it by regular mail? |

| You can ask the visa support company if they will send it by regular post. Maybe they will agree. Delivery time will probably be around 3 weeks or more though. |

| I received a private invitation this week that was sent by EMS, the Russian express post service. While originally dubious I was surprised and delighted by this efficient service. Just 11 days to get from the Far East to a non metro area of Australia. That's 2 days longer than DHL takes and a fraction of the cost. |
