Emauss Posted May 12, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2004 There seems to be some confusion (admittedly mostly on my part) as to exactly what is needed for Russian touring. We are planning a 2-day excussion with a private company (DEN-RUS or RO) but want to do a little on own own (thus the unscheduled 3rd day). We applied for our Visas through ITSEASY while another of our group applied through Oceania's recommended Visa bureau. Red Oktober just informed me that Oceania's recommended bureau registers people through a specific tour group, and you are then obliged to use them and only them (thus eliminating RO or DEN-RUS or any other 'visa providing' tour company). If you obtain a visa on your own, RO will supply support papers, then you can use them (but no other company). I have been told by the company I am using that I will be registered through a hotel, and can use any tour group I wish. (yes, according to what I am finding out, you must be registered through *some* offical organization) I am now not a little, but a lot confused....or else I really do understand it!!! --> of course, you do not need a visa if you only tour with a "visa supplying" tour group, but then you cannot go out on your own<-- Any comments??
