Travel to Moscow!

2. Apply for a visa

A, tourist visa, find a travel agency for 3 days, or you can apply for it yourself, saving money for a long time. First, you need to buy a hotel invitation, and then queue up at the visa office of the embassy.

B, student visa, the lowest cost, if it is cheap, if you contact the school to pay, they will help you apply for a visa.

C, business visa, find a company to handle, the time needs to change according to the time you need to stay, about 1 month, or you can handle it yourself. Let Russian customers send their own business invitations or buy their own business invitations, and then go to the consulate visa office to handle them. When there are few people, it can be done in an afternoon.

3. Air ticket: Personally, I suggest to apply for an invitation letter and visa before issuing an invoice, so as to avoid spending money to change the air ticket temporarily.

4. Accommodation: If the budget is not much, you can consider living in a hostel. Prices for a night start at about $50. Although price is one of the considerations, you should pay more attention to the safety environment. Never live in an ordinary house, there will be an oolong where the police come to check the documents and harass and blackmail.

Be sure to live in a high-end foreign-related apartment with a yard and 24-hour security. Usually, only foreigners live. This is a special case that Russia is different from China.

5. Apply for visa on arrival: According to Russian law, foreigners must apply for visa on arrival within 72 hours after entering the country. When finished, they will get a list. Please put the list with your passport for inspection. As for the fees, they are generally charged in the hotel room rate, and some fees will be added according to the time you need to apply, ranging from 3 days to 3 months.

6. Entry card: People who have been abroad should know that flight attendants begin to issue passenger registration cards before the plane lands in Russia, and this certificate is divided into two parts, A and B. Both parts must correctly fill in personal basic information, such as passport number, name, gender, date of birth, visa number, stay time, inviting unit, etc. Please write the passenger registration card in Roman Pinyin or Russian when entering Russia.

7. Expenditure:

A, If you have just arrived in Russia from China, you will definitely feel that shopping here is not cost-effective. The biggest difference in price is in food. No matter how fast food restaurants like McDonald's go to roadside stalls, you can find that the price is really much higher. In Moscow, a person needs to spend at least 500 rubles to get full, but basically as long as he controls his own expenses, he won't spend too much money, if he really wants to save money on food. !

B, Transportation: In Moscow, almost all people change to the subway, because there are more than 200 stations in Moscow, extending in all directions. Just walk a little after leaving the station. The one-way price of Moscow subway is 14 rubles, which is the price regardless of distance. However, I suggest that it is more economical to buy stored-value cards in Moscow, because there are too many opportunities to take the subway in Moscow, and stored-value cards are not used at least twice and at most 60 times. In Russia, there is also a popular bus "stop when you wave". In Moscow, every time it is 10 rubles, it can be completed from beginning to end.

The subway in Petersburg is also 14 rubles, but a deposit is required to buy a connecting ticket.

If you need to take a taxi in an emergency, all cars in Russia can stop by waving, and the price is very uncertain. Regular taxis with odometers are rare. Generally, as long as you negotiate the price with the driver, you may not need your money on the way. Of course, you can also call the bus of the public security organ. Don't be afraid. This is a unit driver. It is generally accepted in Russia to earn some money for drinks after work.

C, there are several types of train tickets, similar to domestic hard seats, four-person boxes and two-person boxes. The fare will change depending on the model, so the fare is very uncertain. Generally, the sleeper from Moscow to Petersburg is 2300 rubles, and the return trip is 2000 rubles, including breakfast. If it is a hard seat, take a bus for about 500 rubles during the day.

The following are some running accounts for reference:

Snacks at roadside stalls:

Bread and hot dogs are 20~50 rubles.

Roast chicken140; Half chicken 70 (usually only whole chicken is sold)

Hot black tea sold by the roadside 15~25 rubles.

Water: It's much cheaper to buy it in a supermarket than in a scenic spot.

Soaking in water is about 25~40 rubles.

Generally, water is 15~30 rubles.

Toilet: 10~20 rubles (free, please solve it quickly! Restaurants, museums, etc. Are all good choices)
