Dear Sir or Madam:

If you have any information on either of the following two questions, I would very much appreciate it:

1. I am a foreigner planning to take the "Georg Ots" ferry between St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad. Since the ferry departs in Russia and arrives in Russia, can I take this trip without getting another visa, even though it passes through international waters?

2. The most detailed information that I was able to find about this ferry is located at http://www.baltfinn.ru/main.php?p=ferry, but the Excel format timetable and fare list near the bottom of this webpage are in Russian. Unfortunately, I cannot read Russian. Are you able to provide any further information to me on how I can plan and book my ferry passage?

Thank you for any help that you can provide.

You should seek advice from the consulate of the countries which you will cross. Also, make sure you won't need a double-entry visa to Russia with your ferry company.

Well, if this is a good company, I'm sure they will provide you with an English translation if you send them an e-mail. Smile
