My passport expires 5 months and 2 weeks before my proposed exit date, can I still get a visa?

+1 vote
Hello!

My finance and I are getting married in 5 weeks, but when applying for my visa I've seen that my passport actually expires in late June. All of our application forms and other documents have been notarized, copied and approved by zags. We've also made our holiday and travel arrangements (Zags approved the forms yesterday, Friday 25th of November) They are expecting me to arrive on the 23rd of December to prepare for the wedding which is on of the 30th of December.
Is there anything that can be done to apply for my visa?

Please, if there is anything that can be done to help- I'm not sure what to do now!

Thank you very much!

Hey you can usually get a Russian visa if your passport expires not earlier than 6 months before your visa ends.
