Thread: How long can I stay?

Is it possible to get multiple entry visa for 5 or 6 months? I've gotten one for 3 months, single entry, but this time I'm going to go in and out of Russia over about 5 months. Is this possible, or will I have to get two separate visas?

Looks like it's possible for business purposes only. Check it here http://www.russia-visa.com/russian_visa_fees.php

And this is a more detailed link http://www.waytorussia.net/RussianVisa/Types.html

Yay!! Your second link explained exactly what I was looking for! I cross-checked it with the embassy's website, and I think it's gonna work.

Do you plan to go on business or as a tourist?

Maybe she is going as a spy for the US government.

They don't need it. We already have a lot of spies in Pravitelstvo, Duma and mass-media.

Thanks for a hint. That wasn't the point of my question though

In practice it doesn't matter if you're a 'tourist' or a 'businessman'. If you hand over the cash and/or wait for long enough, you can get the visa. It's a very stupid system - but that's hardly unique to Russia

I've actually gotten both tourist and business visas in the past. So, I could easily go as either.

Is it possible to apply for a spy visa?

It's funny because I can't tell if it's a joke.

It was a joke. I wouldn't make a very good spy anyway...better stick to business and tourism.

There is actually such a thing as a diplomatic visa

But $$ won't get you one of those, sadly.

Yeah, and then they know you're there as a spy and your cover is ruined.

But you'll have diplomatic immunity. You'll be invincable.

Tim.

Invincible to law-abiding people.

Nobody's invincible from being sniped by a specnats team while they're alseep in bed at 3:00 am. Except tourists.

As an American, I feel confident in stating that the United States doesn't need spies in Russia. Since the fall of Communism, Russia and the United States have become good friends. I think this is because Russia is no longer an imminent threat.

Sorry. Sorry. But the US and Russia do have conflicting interests. Just because Bush and Putin show up on TV all kissy kissy, that doesn't mean everything is cool. And any nation with nukes is essentially an "imminent threat." I'm not saying spying is THE THING TO DO or that we're about to blow one another up or something, but you're simplifying the situation overmuch.
