Hey there, I have long been planning to do the Trans sibirian railway, but I never thought getting a russian visa could be this hard.
Right now I`m backpacking in Spain, is it possible for someone from Norway to use this site?(waytorussia)

I have talked with some other companies that did the same in UK, but they could only take UK residents.
Is there any such restrictions on this site I should know about?
Norway is a schengen country with boarders to russia, not that it mathers.
If I can I would be glad to use this site, as fast as possible, since I need to get the russian one before I can get the one for china.

I really want to do this without going back to Norway to get a visa and waste alot off time there.

My plan was staying in Spain untill the end off oct, and then go up to Paris and head off to Moskva, so if I somehow could get the visa done while I`m here would be the best, I can reach and embasy down here or a counsolate.

Thanks in advance.
Aleksander.

Hope this reply isn't too late. Yes, Norwegians can order visa support through WayToRussia.Net. Your only problem might be applying for a Russian visa in Spain when you're not a resident there. See here:

But I recall someone on this forum recently saying that it wasn't a problem in Madrid. You should contact the Russian consulate in Spain and double check with them.
