Hi All,
I am an American citizen working and living in Berlin, Germany on a 1-year visa. This is my 2nd 1-year working visa.
I hit a bump in the road here unfortunately it seems with applying for my Russian visa. As of now, I have applied for an approved German health insurance and also applied for a tourist voucher/confirmation, but found some possible bad news.
I just read this evening on a German website offering Russian visa services that my German work permit must be valid at least 6 months up to the exit date of my stay in Russia. My plan was to visit Russia from May 15th and stay until May 26th of 2015. But unfortunately, 6 months in advance from the end of my visa would be April 14th of 2015.
As stated, I simply read this on a website but I'm not 100% certain yet that this is true.
Can anyone else who has applied for a visa on a work permit for Germany or another country confirm if this is true?
I hope to have a clearer understanding tomorrow since I sent out a bunch of emails to the visa service center contact, and a few other websites offering visa services.
Thanks for the help.
