Alright.

I'm absolutely worried about my russian visa so I would appreciate any advice, etc.

my itinerary are as follows:

Manila --> Beijing (2 days) --> Moscow (2 weeks) --> Stockholm + Schengen Countries (1 to 2 weeks) --> Moscow --> Beijing --> Manila

i have NO idea what kind of visa this is. all i know is I applied for a TOURIST visa.

i originally wanted 2 x single entry visas but the consul told me all i need is a DOUBLE ENTRY visa.

now i read somewhere that in CASE of a double entry TOURIST visa, i can ONLY go to a CIS country (i.e. NOT SCHENGEN).

if that's the case then i'm royally fucked.

can someone please inspect my visa?





thank you.

Well.. It lists purpose of your visit as 'turizm'.. It gives 'akademinvest' as inviting organisation, with a reference number. It doesn't look weird to me. Besides what you said before.. I would say this is a double-entry tourist visa?!

A concern that I would have would be that for a Tourist Visa that it is usually valid for only 30 days, be it either a single or double enty. Was the date a typo? What did your invitation letter have for dates?

Also from waytorussia.net site:

"Double Entry visa support available: If you need a double-entry tourist visa, please, mention it in "Your Message" field at the end of this form. Also, specify the both dates (time spans) of your travel to Russia and the country where you are going to travel. With a double entry visa you can only leave to a CIS country (e.g. Ukraine, Kazakhstan, + Baltic States) and not abroad (e.g. NOT to Mongolia, China, Finland)."

and

dec 21 - 29 (though i'll probably stay in moscow until dec 23 or 24)
