Obtaining a Visa for Russia in Poland (Warsaw or Krakow)

Hi there,

nice to meet you here. I do ask for some Visa advice.

I am going to do a 8 week trip to Russia and need a Visa.
I am based in Krakow these days and would like to obtain the Visa here.

I am german citizen with no permanent Polish residency. I still don't know if I would need Polish residency for obtaining a russian Visa in Krakow or Warsaw.

Does anyone has recent experiences with the russian embassy in Krakow or Warsaw regarding Visas?

I read a lot about the Visa agency that could do the Visa handling for you. This should be the easiest and cheapest way right?

I have about three weeks left right now before moving to Moscow.

Thank you very much! I appreciate it.

Michael

Yes. If you aren't registered as a long term temporary resident (or better) - then you can't obtain a Russian visa in Poland.


You're cutting it fine!

You'll have to deal with it through Berlin - the best hope in this case is to get one of the agencies there to deal with it.
