What Was Needed To Get Russian Visa In Ukraine?

Hello,

I promised earlier that I would give the information on getting a Russian Visa in Ukraine. This information will help you but by no means will solve all problems. The rules to get a Visa for Russia change as fast as you can write them down! (Always call first!!!!!)

===============================

Basics:(For Multi entry Business Visa)

Russian Consulate in Kiev, Ukraine

What you need to take?

1. Two Russian sized passport pictures.(35mm x 45mm)
2. Letter of Invitation!
3. Letter from your business sending you to Russia!(On business letterhead.)
4. HIV certificate. (doctor or lab results that say you are HIV free)
5. Valid Passport (at least 6 months left of validity)
6. Copy of immigration card from Ukraine Boarder.
7. Money :)
===============================

We had a good Visa experience and hope that all you do also. The cost varies from around $100.00 to $500.00, according to how fast you want the Visa. (By the way the Consulate seemed to be much happier to make copies for you).

The city of Kiev has lots to do and you can sightsee while visa is being processed. Just look at theses articles and see what we did while in Kiev!
