Visas for Russia arrived today!

[Bollinge]

We posted our passports and the required paperwork to the London consulate on 13th April, and they came back this morning with visas stuck inside.

 

It was all remarkably painless!

 

The cost was £30 (say $50) each for us UK citizens. US citizens pay $100 apiece.

I'm so glad you got yours already. And that seems fast. We will be sending in for our soon I hope it goes as fast. If I may ask whom did you get your letter of invitation from? And how long did that take? Have a great trip.

SaylorGirl, Princess also must use Arctur, or else they are not allowed to bring buses to the dock.
