Subject: Russian visas
I spoke to an agency who helps with Russian visas. They said the best visa for us
to get would be a business visa which is good for one year. They can apply for
the invitation for us which takes 2 weeks to get. Once we have the invitation, we
have to give our passports to the Russian consulate for 3 days to process the
visa. All we have to give them for the invite is a copy of our passports, the
company name, address, phone number and your position in the company. If we gave
them that info today, we would have the invite by Dec 31st, but the Russian
Consulate is closed from Jan 1-10, thus we could have the visas by Jan.13 at the
earliest. The cost is $800
Otherwise, if you want to stick with a tourist visa they are only good for one
month and can be processed in a day.
