I live about a mile from the Russian consulate, so I decided to take my
application there in person.  I had downloaded and completed the
Word doc visa application from the consulate's website.  It took 4
pages.  The guy at the consulate said he could not accept it
because it was 4 pages.  He handed me a two-sided application and
told me to fill it out instead.



I thought this was odd and wondered what luck anyone else had with
4-page visa applications.  I imagine a few of you don't live
within a mile of a Russian consulate where two-sided applications can
be obtained.  I don't know how else you would get one.

That's interesting because the one I downloaded from the Russian Consulate was 2 pages.  I guess I'll find out on Monday when I take it to the consulate.  

The one I was sent from Contiki - and printed off again from the
website is only one page - argh!  I already worried as I had to
mail mine (priority) to Ottawa.....only 5 weeks to go and time is not
great for errors!

I dropped off my application using the 2 page form from the internet and had no problems.

It came in the mail yesterday.
