My family is majority Russian :D

Where abouts are you exactly?

My father and I want to visit Kirovograd (his home city) after Wacken this year.

What help do you need for your visa? Don't you just have to apply for it from the Germany embassy in Russia?

Hi NightFairy,

oh, he´s also registered here as Savatager - haven´t seen him posting for a long time, but maybe you get reach him via e-mailing through this board or ICQ.

I can't believe it is SO hard to get a visa! There were SO many Russians in Europe all summer in every city I visited. I heard more Russians than Americans, English and Australians.

And I met a few Russians who were at Wacken too.

no no.. it's not about money... I was collecting money for a long time to get to wacken... and I never knew that here in Georgia we are not allowed to travel freely wherever we want...

one most get official invitation from Germany and also prove that he is not going to stay there... :(

I know about those invitations. That really sucks. It´s really not that easy. But I thought its either having a lot of money OR invitation? Or maybe that was only for South Africa, dunno :(

I understand now :(

It's almost THAT hard to get a visa into Russia from Australia. They will not issue you a visa until you have written confirmation of your accommodation for every night, the exact time of your arrival...and when you have questions, the Russian Consulate don't even have the curteousy to call you after you have left a message OR reply to emails... ARSEHOLES!
