Things are hotting up nicely on the preparation front!
We now have all three visas for Russia, China and Mongolia. Despite my nervousness about applying for them it was a pain free experience all round.
My three top tips for applying for visas in Russia and China if you are living in Ireland are as follows:
1) Turn up early, especially if you want to collect them on the same day. The sooner you're in there the sooner you get out.
2)Read the instructions carefully!
If you're going for Russian visas you need a voucher in Russian and an invitation. You also should duplicate the applications and bring the duplicate with you when you travel as having a visa doesn't guarantee entry into the country. Don't do what these arrogant middle aged women did when I was there. It's not clever or funny to turn up with nothing but a cheque book.
3)Smile! It cheers everyone if you're pleasant and respectful, you are on their territory after all!
I'm getting very excited now!
