Hi, I just stumbled across this thread, we booked a flight to Moscow in January 2015 and then a few days after Russia declared all visitors from then on had to have a visa and that for UK citizens they would only be available from the Embassy in London or Edinburgh (perhaps it's a consulate they have there not an embassy, I'm not sure) and that they would have to apply there in person. We cancelled the holiday and went to Quebec Winter Carnival instead. I should mention that when Russia announced the new requirements they did point out that both the UK and the USA had this requirement in place for some years previously for Russians wanting to come here.Hi Dave,
The info about visa requirements for travel in Russia is handy but I wonder if it is still up to date as your post was last sent nearly 3 years ago.
Regards
Mike
Following this closely as I'm heading to eastern Europe next year and Russia could be on the list of countries that I visit. Any further updates from anyone?
Did you go Deano ?
I've booked the hotel, Got the invite and completed the online visa application form. I now have to go to London for the "in person" application to actually get the visa. Not sure if I just turn up or I have to some how book an appointment?
I'm not going until July, so loads of time. Then North to NordKapp ! Nice to hear your application was easy.
Ill just rock up after the 2nd lockdown ....
Cheers for your info.
Good point, Leave it until march. Covid will be done then too !
