.It needs to be made quite clear that a British Citizen cannot obtain a Russian visa outside of UK,
.
Is this still the case in Jan 2013?

.It was 2005 when we got ours here in the UK. We used a visa service because it was going to be the most difficult to get, but in reality no probs
We got a second visa for Russia while in Mongolia when we were arrested in China and 'returned' to Mongolia
Again we used a visa service to expedite matters.

How on earth did you get arrested in China?
Not some thing I would like to try.
Story ?

Nope, I've only got a British passport and have been working in Russia for the last 18 months on the Sochi olympics, now on my 3rd business visa, as they only allow a total of 90 days in Russia. I've arranged all 3 of them through the Russian embassy in Marseille, and whilst it's nearly 10 times the price of a visa had I been a French citizen (350EUR in lieu of 35EUR) it's actually easier, as French colleagues have to have proof of medical insurance etc, whereas us non-schengen Brits don't.

When did you get the visa? The new requirements apply from 10th of this month (Dec '14)I got my visa through real Russia a bit more expensive but no aggravation, they give you a form at the border it was a f#####g nightmare to fill out in russian ...
"I'm sure there is someone on here that's photocopied the form in English that would make it a lot easier all you would have to do is copy it!!!, In my case 7 hrs later they gave me a form in English as for Russia I enjoyed it the police were ok got stopped a few times but no fines unlike the Ukraine.

We do have a visa application form to copy, our daughter visited a few months ago. She loved it, by the way.
