Basically i want to ask what the most efficient way to get into Russia as a resident.
Heres my statistics
I am Australian
I am married to my Russian citizen wife.
We have a Russian Government marriage certificate
We own our own apartment in Russia.
I have passport.
I have police records check
I have school reports.
i have birth certificate.
All my documents are apostille stamped.(and will be less than 3 months old)

I asked help from consulate but they just sent me a PDF in russian, which i might add is not specific in terms of order and exactness or so i have been told.

I have been told by the russian FMS that i have to apply in person and if i go to russia i will only be on a 3 month guest visa but the residence application can take over 4 months.I am hoping i can go to the russian consulate in Australia and apply but i cant find that out.I have rang before and emailed and it sems the PDF is it.
Please can you give me some foreknowledge so i can start making exact calculated efforts.
kind regards.

I just thought i would add some detail as i have found out.

To apply for a residence type permit i will have to apply with my wife(both of us in person) at the same time .This negates me applying in Australia while my wife is in russia.

cheers
