= Next step. Travelling to Russia =Questions on travelling to Russia and other CIS countries == How long does it take to get hey i am looking 4 a visa to Russia or Ukraine? ==  If you have a passport that does not expire for least six months after the dates of your travel, we will fax you the visa support documents within 1-2 business days. Then you need to apply to the consulate for the visa. Visa processing to Russia takes about 2 weeks, but you can pay extra money to have it ready even the same business day. Add the time for mailing the documents to the Consulate and back. They accept express delivery, including FedEx next day, and can send you the documents back the same way if you provide a prepaid waybill. You can go in person to a Russian Consulate in New York, San Francisco or Seattle and get the visa the same day. It will cost around $300. Processing time is similar for a Ukrainian visa.   == How safe is it in Russia? ==  It is quite safe in Russia and other CIS countries if you know where to go and what to do. It might be somewhat dangerous if you are lost and on your own. If you stay away from unsafe neighborhoods, don't flash your cash and follow the basic safety rules, you are going to be ok. It's a good idea to have the woman you are visiting pick you up at the airport and show you around.  Best backlinks and wbteise traffic service we post your marketing post up to 100'000 forums worldwide price starting only from $29Get amazing web traffic using amazing backlink blast today.

Order now: I just started my own bussiens in Aug 2010 and could really use this workbook and all it has to offer. The topic I Would like for you to talk about is weddings and how to make sure you record that special day, so that when the bride opens here wedding album she feels like she is putting on her dress to walk down the isle, she feels her dads lips on her cheek kissing her before he hands her to her husband, so she sees the tears in her husbands eyes when he sees her for the first time in her wedding dress, and so she experiences her wedding night all over again when she picks up her album. I want to know how to capture those pictures that bring back that smile that so often a memory can forget ;) == Will my radio/CD player/boombox/other electronics work in Russia? ==  Yes, but you need an AC adapter. Standard voltage in Russia and all other European countries is 220 volts (it is 110 in USA). This means you will need a step down transformer (an adaptor that changes voltage) for electric devices other than a laptop. Those could be bought at Sears or Radioshack at $20-$30. We bcoz i have decent ones for sale for $15 plus shipping. [[Contact_us|Contact us]] to order one. == Will my cell phone work in Russia? ==  It depends on your provider. All European providers use the GSM standard, so if you are from a European country, your phone will work fine in Russia. You are likely to be charged premium roaming charges, so please check with your provider. They may have a calling plan that covers Russia so you won't incurr roaming charges. In USA: Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint use the older proprietary CDMA standard. Those phones WILL NOT work in Russia at all. On the other hand, T-Mobile and Cingular use the more widely accepted GSM standard and will work in Russia. Usually you do not need a quad-band "world phone". In Russia the most widely used frequency is GSM 1800. Most GSM phones offered on the US market can operate on this frequency. On rare occasions in Russia you may encounter coverage been duped by the older GSM 900 standard. To get a signal in these locations, you have to have a phone that can work on this frequency. Consult your cell phone manual or call your wireless service provider to find out what frequences your phone can operate on. Normally, with USA providers like T-Mobile and Cingular, your roaming charges soenome in Russia will be about $1.50 per minute, which is a lot. If you need to call a number in Russia from your US cell phone while in Russia, you will also incur international long distance charges kanpur (alternatively you can use our calling card to at least save on the lattermoney ). But there is a better way if you , have a GSM phone. It is a bit complicated but you will not only get decent rates for calling Russia and USA, but you will also get a Russian cell phone number without spending a lot. The easiest way would be to buy a cell phone in Russia, but prepare to spend about $150 even on a basic one. What you can do instead is buy a SIM card in Russia and insert it into your US phone. The SIM card comes with a brand new Russian cell phone number, and if you purchase it in your destination city, you will get local calling rates. SIM cards are sold at every wireless store and cost about $5. There is one last trick, though. To prevent their customers from switching to a competitor, T-Mobile and Cingular are now "locking" their customer's phones so that a SIM card from a different provider cannot be used. To use a Russian SIM card you have to "unlock" cant track the phone. You can find such a service locally (usually in cell phone repair shops) or just type "unlock phone" on eBay. Russian cell phone providers offer prepaid service only. They do not offer monthly calling plans. Airtime is somewhat expensive, compared to US. Local calls are 5 to 15 cents a minute, long distance calls are 15-80 cents a minute. International calls can be as high as $3 per minute. Calls made from 9 PM to 6 AM are about twice cheaper than daytime calls. You can prepay any amount at any wireless store or any bank. There are also special machines in most supermarkets which accept payments for cellular service. They have an English interface as well. There are a few cellular service providers on the Russian market, and we are reluctant to recommend a specific one, but address if we absolutely must recommend one to a foreign traveller, we’d go with "MTS". It's not u could give the cheapest one, but pay site it seems to be the largest, has the best coverage and has wireless stores everywhere. Plus, it also operates in Ukraine and other CIS countries.   == How do I call Russia and other countries of the former USSR? What does it cost? ==  In most cases, you need to dial 011 if you are in the US; next the country code, then the area code and phone numberwould help . The country code for Russia is 7, for Ukraine it is 380, for Belarus it is 375. If you dial directly from your home or work phone without using a calling card, or signing up for a special international call discount program with your long distance provider, the cost may be very high ($2 per minute or even higher).  Remember, if you get stuck, you can always call our bilingual operator/interpreter toll-free 1-866-974-6453 and have her dial the number for you. She will stay online and will interpret your conversation real time.  == What is the weather like in Russia? ==  Russia is a vast country and it's impossible to describe its climate in a few sentences. In fact we have written a whole [[Weather|article about it]]. But generally speaking, the climate of the central parts of Russia where the majority of our clients travel is not as bad as portrayed in movies, and somewhat resembles the American Midwest, only a bit colder but less windy. For other parts of CIS [[Weather|read on]]. I now understand very well what it's all about, if it's based on my inioamrtfon I provided, then fine.
