Way to Russia Talk Lounge

I've lived in Novosibirsk for 1.5 years, and though it's one of the largest cities along the route, and a good half-way point, it's often not considered as an interesting stop. why? perhaps because i ...

Thank you very much for replying!! That's is a very important bit of information. Looks I'll manage to get the invitation sent to me while I'm home in the US, if OVIR delivers on time.

Has anyone applied for a Russian visa by post, from Russia?

Since it's necessary now to apply for visas in one's home country, I'm going to try posting my passport & all my documents to the Rus ...

Is this a new policy? I bought tickets in December on the S7 website with a US bank card. If I remember correctly, I used my check (debit) card, and it has a VISA logo. It was a domestic flight.

Russia has always been a vast country and so this large scale is reflected in our mentality - freedom, large distances, lots of wild unhabitated places, forests and fields. This defines the main trait ...

It is a relief, and I hope other people can avoid my situation. Having a letter from a company, requesting that I be registered for the full duration of my visa, was really important. UFMS kept that ...

Looks like my registration problem will be resolved finally!! I have received a letter from a company in Novosibirsk, requesting that I be registered through the end of my visa period (july 2008) Th ...

I am dreaming of how to get justice - my own justice. I thought about going to the office, pretending to be looking for an apartment, and see if she will rent me my own apartment! Then I take out my ...

Do you think the police can do anything about it? Three people came this evening looking for my apartment, and every time I have to explain what's going on. Then the old women in my building start y ...

For those planning to rent an apartment in Russia (or anywhere), I warn you not to give any money to an agency until you see the apartment with your own eyes. That sounds obvious, but in the one mont ...

Does he have to register? He's spending three business days in russia: wenesday, thursday and friday. Do saturday and sunday have to be taking into account???

I guess he would have to register by ...

Yes, well, my visa does show who "invited" me, but it is pretty much meaningless to me and, I suspect, to OVIR as well.

That's exactly what I expected, based on what I had re ...

Isn't it printed on your visa, who invited you?
