The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation is an authoritative organization authorized by the state to issue invitations to foreign citizens on its own behalf. Documents for an invitation to obtain a visa to the Russian Federation for a foreign person are submitted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry acts as an inviting company on the basis of a letter of application and a power of attorney from the receiving party - a branch or representative office of a foreign legal entity.

Thus, the procedure for issuing an invitation to a foreigner through the Chamber of Commerce and Industry will include the following steps:

1. if a company applies for an invitation for the first time - preparation and acceptance of documents necessary for accreditation of the company with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry;
2. preparation and acceptance of a set of documents for an invitation to a foreigner;
3. payment of a fee for servicing the Chamber of Commerce and Industry by the receiving party;
4. sending a set of documents to the Department of Internal Affairs of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow for issuing an invitation;
5. receipt of a formalized electronic invitation to the deadline established by the Department of Internal Affairs of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow (up to 20 working days);
6. transfer of an invitation to enter the Russian Federation to an authorized representative by proxy (due to the fact that the invitation is issued in electronic form, it is sent by email to a representative of the receiving party).

The functions of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry within the framework of the procedure for issuing an invitation also include checking the reliability and legality of the receiving party. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry carefully checks the details of the branch/representative office that is applying to issue an invitation to its foreign guest in order to exclude the possibility of fraud or illegal activities.
