I will study in Russia beginning on 1 August, but my invitaiton is late and I will not be able to acquire the visa before I leave Australia (my country of residence). I had planned to get the visa in Munich, but have recently learned that German Russian consular posts no longer grant visas to non-residents of Germany. Hence my dilemna. I can re-route my trip through either Riga or Helsinki. Does anyone have any advice on applying for a student visa as a non-resident in either of these cities? Do these cities offer expedited processing? Any other suggestions? Cheers, Douglas

The reason I ask is that I too have had this same problem and will apply for my student visa in Copenhagen. I am to study at NSU and after my contact there told me the Invitation would be arriving very late, I told him I would get the visa from Denmark. He replied that a student from Australia could not get a student visa from Germany, so maybe I would have the same problem. (The consulate there have told me it's okay.) Are you this student? If so, then I would like to ask you about NSU... If not, then sorry for that spiel. Tom
