Getting Russia transit visa in Ulaanbaatar?
Hi all,
I have a problem...
I will be leaving Europe In a couple of weeks, heading to Russia and Mongolia.
I had applied for a double entry Russian visa at the Russian consulate in Rome. However, it "seems" that the Russian consulate has issued a single entry visa.
Well, the agent through which I applied for the visa stated that although the mistake was made by the consulate, I should ask for cancellation of the current visa and re-apply for a new visa because the number of entries cannot be fixed.
To this end I would have to buy a new invitation letter and pay again the regular fee.
My real concern is now to pay again, apply and then end up with another wrong visa (for example with wrong dates!). That would mean forgetting about the whole trip.
Thus, what I am thinking about is to keep my single entry Russian visa, drive through Russia and Mongolia. Then, after getting to UB, I would go to the Russian embassy and apply for a transit visa to go back home.
Can anyone give me any advice? Has anyone recent news about issuing of Russian transit visas to foreigners in UB, especially about the processing time? (The latest info I found is from two years ago).
Thanks!
