Getting Russian Visa Priceless
I will have to make my 5th 'Visa Run' in 9 months. In the time I could have fathered child I have been to London 5 bloody times to sit around waiting for the Embassy to process the paperwork.
I use a wonderful agency based on the Strand. Their link is in the headline above. They are based in an opticians but don't be put off by the bizarre branding. And they always give me as much tea as I can drink & sometimes even a muffin.
But recently getting a Russian visa has made the phrase Kafkaesque redundant. In future Byzantine will be replaced by 'like getting a Russian visa.'
