RUSSIAN E-APPLICATIONS

The Russian Embassy in Canada has just announced that as of 01 June 2012 it will only be accepting visa forms produced through their on-line government visa application computer system.

Canadians MUST use the new on-line visa application system at http://evisa.kdmid.ru in order to enter their personal details and request a visa.

Although the application is typed on-line, the final product is printed and signed just like the old forms. All off the paperwork must still be provided in hard copy.

There are about 24 steps to filling in the from, so it could easily take up to 90 minutes to complete a single application. Be ready with all of your old workplace and school addresses and a lot of personal history.

We are Visa Services Canada remain ready to get your Russian visa from the Russian government.

TRAVEL HEALTH

Two words about travel health: get shots and get insurance.

Before travelling anywhere 'exotic', please please please get shots for things such as yellow fever, hepatitis and whatever else is a health issue in the region of travel. Major cities in Canada have outlets of the travel health clinic known as MEDISYS.

Before travelling anywhere at all, get travel medical insurance which includes hospital coverage and if possible medical evacuation. We prefer International SOS, a world-wide company dealing with bsuiness, ex-pats, and tourists. This is one of the best investments you can make in health before extensive international travel or residence abroad. They saved me in Cambodia where they run two extensive medical facilities using western equipment and standards. We trust them with our lives.
