Hi Chris, The Russian embassy and consulates in Germany (strictly) advice Germans to only go to their locally assigned consulate, and mention, that the consulate has the right to refuse your application if you are not assigned to it. Note, that, your residential address decides what consulate is responsible for you.
On the phone, the consulate employees will explain everything nicely to you, especially if you speak Russian. They might also point out other possibilities to gain visas, such as "friendly consulates" and travel agencies, which work miracles in visa processing times. All legal, no Konfetti involved, all proper. The difference lies within the knowledge of HOW TO, and the polite chat with people involved. Good luck The happy owner of a work visa _______________________________________________ Expat mailing list [email protected] http://www.lists.ru/mailman/listinfo/expat http://www.expat.ru/forum/
