russian visa company for New Zealand

Hey I live in NZ at the moment do I have to find a visa company in New Zealand to get a multi entry visa for Russia or can I use any one? In which case does anyone have recommendations? Do I need a pre issued visa for Kazakstan? I have both a NZ and UK passprt and want to ship into Vladivostok May next year to drive back to the UK via Mongolia etc next year.

Been off the road for 6 years and feel like a right newbee haha

Thanks

Rich

This is a good website and gives detailed instructions

https://russiable.co.uk/getting-russ...nited-kingdom/

and you can get the LOI from the link on the site,

https://russiable.com/visa-support/

I've off tomorrow to hand my paperwork in for a double entry tourist visa.

You should be able to use it too even tho you are in NZ.

I can report that getting the Russian LOI from https://russiable.co.uk/visa-support/ and following the instructions on https://russiable.co.uk/getting-russ...nited-kingdom/ worked a treat.

Just got back from the Russian visa place in Manchester and it went smoothly.

LOI downloaded instantly after having paid via Paypal.

Hi Rich,

I am planning a very similar trip to yours.
Where abouts in NZ are you?
Have you tried stantours.com for visas, they seem quite heplful?
you can get Kazak visa on the road in either mongolia or russia as far as I know.

Hello
I also used Stantours to get Visas for Russia.
First time I got a Multi-entry 180 days visa as a cultral exchange visa.
Second time with them I got a 90 day single entry visa as a business visa.
Think they charged 30 Euro for LOI/

Both times their Russian Embassy in Wellington required the original LOI , they rejected both times any computer scan of the LOI/
Last time this year ( 2017) it cost US$155 for Stan tours to use DHL too courier the LOI.
I used my NZ passport.
