I have bought it on about half of my trips. I think legally it is required to enter over there but have never had it checked. It isn't very expensive compared to the rest of the trip. I think it has cost me from between $25 and $75.
I bought travel insurance for exactly two (out of ten) of my trips to the FSU.
I DID actually have it the time I got mugged and robbed (of around $120) in Latvia. The insurance company was German and all original police reports had to be submitted and notorized..... so much of a hassle... honestly I never sent the paperwork in.
Evidently Chelny already has a village idiot - so danny couldn't get the job there. So he has moved into this forum, till the village idiot job in Chelny is again available.
Jet you are wrong, Dannys just moonlighting here. I can't imagine any town having a bigger idiot, just not possible. As long as he occupies space in a town he's got the job.
HI Evilbaga
Land of OZ is right it's cheap, but worth it , I got a mosquito bite, and my arm swelled up. Going to the hospital to get it checked out made it interesting.
