What to start with?

Hi (Privet),

As you will probably agree it is always difficult to start something new, so please excuse any “not so well written” English. My topic for this article is travelling to the Russian Federation. I am currently employed as a senior travel manager for a travel company Realrussia. It is a UK registered company but I am based in the town where I was born and still reside.Volzhsky. Volzhskiy is 40 klm south the city of Volgograd (Formerly Stalingrad).

My blog is designed to compliment my companies’ business activities and is also to share interesting and informative experiences together with some of the pitfalls that travelers to Russia frequently encounter.

By communicating through the blog medium, I sincerely hope that I can offer useful and helpful assistance to people wishing to visit my country, particularly if it is your first visit here. The Russian Federation is a unique and interesting country and is fraught with many, sometimes intriguing forms of protocols and rules which on occasions even has my imagination stretched however, rules and protocol’s aside, my country is a beautiful destination for all to visit.

I wish for my blog to be helpful to the traveler both to and throughout Russia and can offer a great deal of assistance in planning your first or next trip. To get the most from your trip planning of the trip is essentially important, that is where I can be of real assistance to visitors to Russia.

I have a wide vocabulary of experiences in Air and Train bookings, Hotel bookings, transfers, and can arrange for tour guides throughout our nation. Other advice is entry requirements which includes visa requirements and the application process (there are several types) Visa applications and process although appearing to be difficult to understand are really fairly straight forward..

A tourist visa - will allow for either a single or a double entry visit is valid for a maximum period of 30 days

A transit visa – can be risky and can have many restrictions, valid for 2-3 days

A private visa - when you are going to stay with your relatives or friends. An official invitation must be obtained- valid for 3 months

Business visa -allows for a single, double or multiple visits and may be valid from one to twelve months.

There are several things to know about visa applications and the consequential complications through not applying and processing correctly

For assistance on visas and indeed Russia Travel you are most welcome to contact me directly at Natasha@realrussia.co.uk or to my personal address natashazhukova@hotmail.co.uk
