Russian Visa?

Question

Have any American citizens had the experience of applying for a Russian business visa while physically outside of the United States?

Did you just mail your passport to a Russian consulate in the US, get your Visa Expedited and mailed back to you, and cross your fingers that you wouldn't be requested to present your passport for a week while abroad, or what?

Clearly I've gotten myself in a little bureaucratic jam and would appreciate any advice.

Answer 1

If you can claim ties to your current location outside of the US, you may apply for a Russian visa at your present location, or at the Russian foreign mission which represents the area where you are currently.

Otherwise, you must apply by mail to the US, use next day air service there and back, request expedited handling, and hope for the best.
