New Immigration procedures implemented by Egypt's government now permit citizens of Russia/ FSU/ Ukraine to obtain entry visas without problems. The nationals of FSU do not need to apply for a visa at Embassy/ Consulate before travelling. Rather, they obtain a "tourist visa" AFTER arrival at Cairo Airport for a nominal $15 fee. Anyone is welcome! This is a most viable alternative for all of you guys who are contemplating a "compulsory" trip to Russia/ FSU simply because of INS regulations. Guys, instead of going through the hell of a fiancee visa and signing away line, hook and sinker to fulfill INS's financial requirements, all to be able to meet someone for the first time and decide there and then, you can arrange to meet your Russian sweetheart in Egypt at a fraction of the cost and enjoy a memorable holiday! Egypt has extensive touristic facilities, first-class hotels & sea resorts, diving, scuba, etc. and lush amenities at very reasonable cost. Daily, there are some 100 charter flights from Russia/ FSU landing in different internationals airports in Egypt- usually along the Red sea and the in the Sinai peninsula, in addition to the regularly-scheduled airliners inbound to Cairo and Alexandria. You will find she's familiar with the idea of travel to Egypt as these same charters take-off from some 20 towns in Russia and Ukraine such as Volgograd/ Kiev/ S-Pb/ Novosibirsk/ etc., so its no news.
Yes, usually we recommend Egypt to our customers for meeting with their ladies. Easy visa procedure and low prices( in comparison with European tours)make this place really attractive for the tourists.
Russian girls can get tourist visas to all countries that accept Schengen visas.Its not a problem when she books a tour, problems accur when she apply for visitors visa and doesnt makes hotel reservations beforehand. Many of the customers insist on doing that, because they want to invite girls to live in their houses and dont want to pay the hotel. Usually this cause the problem. If its just a tourist visa and the lady can prove that this is not a private visit and she goes to this cointry as a member of a tourist group-no problem, any travel agency can arrange it.
Hi Olga, Now I am confused. First what does the word SCHENGEN mean....it sounds German. What is the point of the hotel reservation, to prevent international street prostitution? or what ? My point is I would like (my want in near future ) to MEET a RW in say Spain, yes and have her stay with me at my hotel there. So what is wrong with that ? Or Would she have to book the hotel room in her name and I just pay for it when I get there.
Olga! ALL European (EU/Schengen) countries have DIFFERENT policies concerning visas for Russian/Belarussian/Kazakhi or what have you! citizens!
You cannot say that a visitorīs visa is difficult to get over-all, regardless of the country!
I know of a Russian man who owns a company in Sweden. He travels to Stockholm once every month (and visits the Swedish embassy in Moscow prior to each visit), and has also invited lots of Russian friends to go with him... And visa passed with no problem!
So please do not talk about "Schengen" when you have no personal experience with each and every single country in the Scehngen zone. Remember that all Schengen (EU) countries are, indeed, separate ountries!
When it comes to my country, Sweden, your comments are completely wrong as I have invited several Russian girls on personal invitation and getting the visa is simply a matter of applying for it!
dear Henska
if you read my message attentively, probably you will see that I am not takling about <<experience with each and every single country in the Scehngen zone>>.Then, my message was about Russian girls. Means the girls that are from Russia(not Belorussia,Kazakhstan Uzbekistan and so on).All my message was regardless of the country of course!
It was just in general.And saying about a visitors visa I said that "usually" it cause a problem. I didnt said "always". And I was talking mainly about tourist visas, of course I understand that the rules are different in different country and I am not an expert here and cant judge about each of them.Moreover, what I tell here is always based on my personal experience, I am not a travel information buerau and I cant know everything ;-)) So I am glad that you let us know how things work with visitors visas to Sweden, it will be very helpful to our customers, I am sure.
One country you wont get near at the moment without real hassle, unless you are from Latvia which have a 90 day reciprocal agreement, is the UK !!
Our government will let terrorists, thieves, scroungers and lowlife in at the drop of a hat, but when you try to Legally bring your wife here, by God they will make you jump through hoops and then some !!!
that sounded a bit nasty - surely you're not going to blame individuals for the alien control regulations of their country?
Henska,
if you think she does not know it please let's hear it from you then? Make a list of all the countries and give country-specific requirements as to the granting of this Schengen-visa.
The general outlines however, as she pointed out, are true. A Visa CAN be obtained, just fullfil the requirements for them depending where you live.
Yeah Tim,
you guys should have joined Europe if you ask me. Time to stop the island-mentality which still seems to be prevalent, and accept change for a change. It would, to a certain degree, have stopped the influx of critters, and maybe the centre of London would still be worth living in.
Now you have to adapt - eat Buryani and start selling Riksha's ;-)) ?
If they had asked most pepole here about the channel tunnel, most would have said "we dont want the bloody thing anyway !!"
The only way Cahirman Blair will ever get GB into the "Euro" is if he makes ir part of his next manifesto, and the silly buggers vote him in on other issues without seeing it in there or realising that if he gets power he wont ask again if we wanna join he will just do it !!!

You know I used to be horrified at some of the posts I would see here when I stared a year and some months ago. The acid replies by seasoned forum members was uncalled for from what I could see. Now I know what they were talking about !!
Turkey is another option to meet your Russian lady.
I did so recently and again all you need to do is get a holiday visa at prot entry. It costs 10 euros for a Russian and for me (a Brit) Ģ10. I think for US citizens it is about $20.
