Caroline: You can get a three-month business visa by getting an invitation, and the company that gives you the invitation will register it. Fee is about 1100r for invitation and 500r for registration after you return (as long as you give them required documents the day after you return to Russia However, a business visa does not give you the right to work in Russia.
