Four

I can kinda see where Russia gets its reputation as being hard to get a visa out of. Their list of documents was pretty vague and sometimes contradicted itself, but once I went to the embassy they gave me two forms to fill out (application, proof of health insurance), and sent me on my way. A week later:



I've been on the phone to the Indian visa section four or five times since I last updated and that's solved too. I have to go to Tokyo again, unfortunately, on September 3. Having that as my issue date will mean my visa expires on December 2, giving me time to finish the training and then two days to get from Delhi to Kathmandu.

Next application: Burma, to post on Monday.
