Where to Apply for a Russian Visa
March 14th, 2014
Planning to visit Russia in the near future? You'll need a visa. But where do you get one?
Russian Embassies and Consulates
Getting a Russian visa is an infamously bureaucratic process. If you're applying by yourself instead of using a visa expeditor, you must apply in person at the appropriate Russian embassy or consulate.
There are five Russian consulate offices in the United States. Each has its own service area, or jurisdiction, based on your home address. To figure out which office services your area, see the list below:
Washington, DC
Address: 2641 Tunlaw Road, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20007

Applying for a travel visa for one of the countries on this list? You'll probably want to seek professional help with the application process from an experienced group of experts.
India
Currently, India's visa system is complex and can be confusing, even if you're just going as a tourist. In fact, the US Department of State notes that "Indian visa regulations change frequently, often with little advance notice, and changes may be poorly advertised and inconsistently enforced."
With 16 different types of Indian visas to choose from with varying requirements, and a sometimes nit-picky application process, it helps to have a professional visa expediter to guide you through the process and act as your advocate.
China
With an alphabet soup of different visa types, you need to make sure y

November 20th, 2013
Russia's complex visa system may seem like it's out to get you, but this checklist will help you navigate it successfully. If you want professional help, our Russian Visa services can help!
Here's what you'll need:
√ Travel Arrangements
Russian visa requirements have eased up just a bit in recent years. If you're going on a tourist visa, you no longer need an "invitation." However, you do have to provide official confirmation of your travel dates from your hotel (or wherever you're staying.) So, make your travel plans first, and then apply for a visa.
Also, keep in mind that if you're applying for certain types of visas, you will need an invitation from a sponsor. RushMyTravelVisa can help you determine the visa requirements for your trip, and obtain an invitation if necessar
The 2014 Winter Olympics: What You Need to Know
October 15th, 2013
Want to see the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia? Here are 5 things you need to know:
How to Get Tickets
Before you can begin planning your trip, you need tickets. Cosport.com is the only official ticket reseller for US residents. If you buy tickets anywhere else, you are likely to get scammed. On the Cosport website, you can purchase individual tickets or get a package that includes hotel booking and/or access to the Cosport Hospitality Center. When buying tickets for individual events, allow two to three hours in between events- it may take that long to get from one venue to the next.
Spectator Passes
You cannot gain entrance to the 2014 Winter Olympics with just a ticket alone. You must also obtain a "spectator pass" involving a background check by the Russian government.
Get a Russian Visa to Explore the Land of the Cossacks
May 21st, 2011
Highly skilled cavalrymen with a strong independent streak, Russia's Cossacks are an interesting people with a rich history. Initially swearing allegiance to no one, they nonetheless had a profound impact on Russian, Polish and Ukrainian history.
For centuries, the Cossacks formed a military society and organized themselves into nations called "Hosts." Raiders and pirates, their pursuit of plunder either caused or contributed to several military conflicts between Poland, Russia and the Ottoman Empire. Yet, their independence and adherence to the "Cossack traditions" (kind of like the Pirates' Code for Cossacks) has made them the stuff of legend.
Get a Russian visa, and you can tour part of the historic homeland of the Black Sea Cossack Host in South Russia. There are two main sites
