Visa in View
Got it Already!
On Tuesday, November 27 – we 'd only just returned from Kiselevsk, where we had celebrated Stefan's birthday, my own and Russian Mother's day (visit my fotopic site for pictures) – we got a phone call from the UVD to notify us that my new visa was ready and waiting for me to pick it up on Thursday.
I picked it up this morning and am happy to say that it looks fine!
I wonder if our letter of complaint has anything to do with their fast delivery (we applied for the visa on November 15) and phone call? (see previous post)
Hopefully, this is the last visa I will ever need during my stay in Russia. We've been told that a permanent residence permit exempts one from the need for a visa. I will probably still have to inform them about my movements and whereabouts, though.
