Things are changing in the visa department for Americans. I know that my visa run coming up real soon will entail me getting a year visa instead of a 3 month visa as I have done for years now…
I also know that it will be interesting because time frames are always askew when it comes to Russia and America…
I will update the visa situation when I get back, but that will not be for a few weeks. I also am not sure if I have to spend two weeks in Ukraine again. If I do then that will be another whole story in itself… 🙂
My visa expires the 28th of July. So it is time to get invitation, train tickets and a place to live lined out in Ukraine. This time I have to get an HIV certificate from a Russian clinic. Anything over a 3 month visa to Russia has to have a HIV certificate. I am not sure why but to me it seems that 3 months visa is enough time to cause issues with HIV…
So when I get done with this visa run, I will have a one year multi-entry visa…
Stay tuned for updates in the future about visa rules and regulations. As I experience them… 🙂
Windows to Russia!
