Pablo's trip 2007 (New! - Only in Spanish!) |
To get a visa for the Transsib can be costly, both in time and money. It's another part of the adventure. In our case included wake up early several days and be fast enough to enter the Russian consulate when the time is about to be over. Russia | Russia - Fares | China | China - Fares | Mongolia Russian visa es the most problematic. For up to date information, the best is to go to the embassy or visit the web. If you have a clear idea of your route, the take a tourist visa, that is cheaper. If you prefer not have a plan at all, then you will need a business one. In some countries (e.g. France) the process is even worse. If you have the chance, go to easier places like Spain or Belgium. Basic data for Russian consulate in Spain can be found in this page, at the Spanish section. Required data The trickyest stuff are the "service voucher" and the "foreign tourist confirmation receipt"; you will need the help of a travel agency (russian or local). My recommedation is to use a Russian one (check the section links). It will cost around 10€ and they can send it to you by fax.
