|
|
Hello, Mr WayToRussia and/or other persons in charge,
I plan to visit Moscow and Peter this Jul(now I'm in Shanghai, China), and my friends Sasha in Moscow would host me. However, I'd still rather apply for a Tour Visa instead of Private Visa, and I think your price of 30$ is reasonable. However, before I pay, I'd like to inquire - how can I be sure that I'm not cheated online? And will the forms you provide be acceptable at the RUS Embassy here in Shanghai? I'd like to pay through credit card but I do not want to pay immediately, but to pay only after I've got the forms and the RUS Embassy here have assured that they're enough, is this possible?
Thank you very much for your time and look forward to your early reply. |

Oh dont worry, this site is very secure. I plan on applying for my visa when I travel to Russia in a few years. And the forms are accepted at many Embassies worldwide.
Have a nice day,
Zach |

hey Zach, you again. Nice and thanks. BTW, would you visit RUS this summer too? We could go together. Plus, which state are you in? I'll spend this Xmas in Ohio with my friend who also loves RUS, if we could make a party with those RUS lovers nearby, it'd be very cool.
Still, how can I register my visa(in 3 work days) if I pay for WayToRussia's 30$ program? Do I have to pay extra? And can I go to OVIR on my own to solve that?
Thanks. |

Heh, Unfortunately I'm not going to Russia. The airline fares are as much as $2,000 USD! I also would like to go to Belgrade. So what I will end up doing is flying in to Paris when I'm ready to go to Russia and Serbia and take a train from Paris to Belgrade, then Belgrade to Moscow. And about my location, I live somewhere in Pennsylvania, large state. I would love to meet someday but I'm being dragged to Philadelphia for Christmas. Oh and on another note to every one on WTR, I believe I’m the youngest member here at the age of 13 ½, anyone younger than that? |

You are going to travel on your own in train at the age of 13 from Paris to Moscow via Belgrade?
Btw the Berlin to Moscow return airplane ticket is usually traded around 300 ˆ |

No, I would be going in a few years and certainly not alone, I'm not that stupid to go to the Balkans alone and being a young American. That just screams kidnapping. I know what I'm doing. And thanks for the price of the tickets to Berlin, always have wanted to see Marx-Engles square. |

gosh, what airline are you using! if a buy a return ticket from some big city(like NYC) to Moscow, it shouldn't cost more than 1000$ go there and back! you need to compare prices, and you need to check those special discounts, then you need to bargain(girls' advantage ).
plus, nice to have young kids loving Russia so much. I'm going to take some elementary Russian class from next semester. |

Well because of my location (coughHarrisburgcough) I have to fly from the local airport to NYC then NYC to London then London To Moscow. I would be using Delta and then Aeroflot. But I should reconcider that thought. There are too many connecting flights! Oh, I also will be taking Russian classes next year, prehaps we can compare homework?  |
