 Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2008 4:00 pm Post subject: US Visa Application |
 |
|
Hey everyone,
Just a couple quick questions on filling out my Visa form (for US citizens via the Washington DC embassy)
I just received my invitation/voucher from IntelService (I bought through waytorussia.net)
A have a question on what to put for a couple of line items on the visa application:
1. Russian institution or organization to be visited (name and address,
phone, fax number, E-mail (if known), name of contact person) .. I am going for purely tourism -- would this just be a "N/A" response?
2. . Name, address and phone number of person or hotel in Russia
that you plan to stay with ... We have booked accommodation independently, and are staying in a rented apartment. But obviously, that is not what is on our invitation/voucher -- So not sure what to put here? The hotel we are "booked" in for voucher purposes, or the place that we will actually be staying in?
Thanks so much for your help! |

Put the hotel you're "booked" in for both.

Thanks! I actually just heard back from the tour operator that issued my invitation. They said for institution I should leave blank as that is only if you are getting a business visa.
For hotels, they said to put the name of the hotel on the invitation.. And said that an address/phone number was not necessary. (as there is no contact info for the hotels on my invitation) |

I am in Laos planning to travel overland to Beijing to catch the Trans-Mongolian to Moscow. This website states that although it is not possible to obtain a Russian visa in Beijing...
The consulate in Shanghai issues Russian visas for everybody, including travelers. The consulates are OK with issuing tourist visas for up to 1 month long. It is recommended to apply at the Russian consulate in Shanghai. Everything else is fine.
...but the lonely planet thorntree and the Russian consulate state that this is no longer the case.
can somebody please advise? Thanks. |
