I am going to apply for a visa at the Russian Embassy in Paris (3 month double
entry business visa for Russia). As far as I know this should be possible
without any problems for a US Citizen.

have an American student working with us right now and have had others in the
past. The Russian Embassy will not process any visa application more than one
month before the intended arrival date, so you would have to deal with visa
applications in the Spring one month before his/her arrival to Russia. Russian
visas are given at any Russian Embassy or Consulate, regardless of where the
individual is located. You need to keep in mind, however, that if the
individual is Canadian, then there is a 21-day processing for any visa. This is
because the Canadian Embassy here in Moscow processes visas for 1-2 months for
Canadian citizens (as of June 1, 2008) and is simply an answer to the
Canadians. > > -----Original Message-----> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
