Dear Russia-visa.com,

Got my passport today, on time and as promised. Thank you very much for making my last minute visa such a smooth process (leave day after tomorrow!). I really appreciated the constant email updates that you sent throughtout the process. It really helped take away a lot of the stress. This will be my first trip to Russia, but I already know it won’t be my last (I already have friends jealous of my trip wanting me to go with them when they go in the near future). You can be sure that I will use your company every time I’m in need of a russian visa and will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone I know going to Russia. Your prices and customer service are top notch. Please feel free to use this email on your website if you have a “customer feedback” portion.

Sincerely,

A. Richter

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that a visa facilitation agreement with the European Union was the first step toward visa-free travel.

Russia and the European Union earlier Thursday signed agreements on visa facilitation and readmission at the Russia-EU summit in southern Russian resort city of Sochi.

“To start with, the simplified visa issuance procedure will be available to students, journalists, businessmen, culture activists, scientists and athletes,” Putin said. “But this decision is the first step towards the introduction of visa-free regime for citizens of Russia and the European Union.”

“I am positive that the introduction of new simplified visa regulations will soon become an impetus for the expansion of humanitarian cooperation, as well as for the joint work and interaction of artistic and scientific intelligentsia, young people and students,” Putin said.

He added that summit participants hoped the new agreements on visa facilitation and readmission would come into force by the end of the year.
