Terry, Here's a girl who can help you with any sort of visa paper work. She helped me the last couple of times that I came into the country. She also advised me that Ukraine has become more difficult and that Riga and Vilnius are better for quick visas. I just completed a visa run to Riga and it only took 2 business days. I'm sure she can help you get your business invitation too.

If you go to Helsinki, Riga, Tallinn, or Vilnius, they will process the visa for you, but they will make you wait a minimum of about 2 weeks before they give you the visa, so you get stuck in one of these places and cannot move. In Kiev it possible to get a visa in a day or two, but it usually requires "intervention" from somebody in Moscow with enough clout to make it happen, or alternatively, by writing a "zayavlenie" in Russian at the Russian Consulate on Kutuzova Street addressed to Ambassador Zurabov, then running across town to the Russian Embassy on Povitroflotski prospekt, passing the zayavlenie to the "Kommendant" and asking him to deliver it to the Ambassador's secretary (be sure to write your mobile number at the bottom). The Russian diplomatic mission in Ukraine is usually quite professional and reasonable and if you do the above, they will usually do a quick turn around visa in one day if they know that you are a business person and must get back to Moscow. However, when they do this, they politely remind you that they are making an exception to the rule and in the future you should return to the States and obtain your visa there.

To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hello, I have an odd shaped tapestry in a metal frame covered by glass. The glass is cracked and I would like to have it replaced. Can anyone recommend a company/person that can do such work. The tapestry is old and has sentimental value, so I'm nervous about trusting it with someone without a recommendation. Thanks, ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:50:29 +0400 From: Charles Borden <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Expat List Visa runs for US citzens To: The Moscow Expat List <[email protected]> Message-ID: <c8eb57c5.a07c4%[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" If you can show residency in a European country, you can apply in that country for quick turnaround otherwise the wait is about 2 weeks. I have heard that there are agencies on Ukraine that can arrange one-day visas.
