(prHWY.com) March 21, 2013 - Petaling Jaya, Malaysia -- Light is finally seen at the end of the tunnel after the two-year discussion for the simplification of the visa regime for Russians to the countries of European Union. The discussion between EU and Russia for the visa exemption for Russians was held in Moscow on 11 March 2013. In the summit, the consent didn't come easily but eventually reached between the parties. One of the officials from Brussels predicted that the historic moment for the visa agreement signing will be held either this late spring or the early summer. Yet the related procedures and implementation wasn't dug any further without the nod from Britain and Ireland. The final sanction of the European Parliament will also carry weight on the issue.
The turning point over the split rested on the change of the stance by the Government of Germany. The Consulate of Germany in the Russian Federation said, "The Government of Germany has always supported dialogue between EU and Russia on a new agreement to facilitate the visa process." Following Germany, Austria and the Netherlands will seemingly take a further step favourable to Russia.
Whatever going on related to the aforesaid, Russia may pose either looser or tighter requirements to the visa-on-arrival in the near future. Nowadays, a traveller from any member country of EU is required to get a 30-day single-entry visa to Russia in advance through Russia Consulate. From the documentation to the lining up outside the Consulate, it could be very time-consuming and inconvenient for having a tourist visa.
The online visa application, on the contrary, offers a great flexibility through a few steps at your fingertips. It will take you only 2 weeks for getting the Russia tourist visa prepared. Have you ever tried such a convenient and new service like that? Do consider when planning your holiday to Russia next time.
