If you have any friend with a company, its ideal. Its completely non committal.

Thanks Walter. I'll have to put some thought into the 'who' part of that but I like the idea.

I'm in the process myself for the Russian business one as I will also need to enter and exit 4 times in approx. 4-5 months window. Encountered the same issues as you described but found a company (here in Belgium) that can assist. Just waiting to get an accurate quote at the moment...

I'd need three visa's to cover the time periods. A little more hassle before I leave home is preferable to two more applications on the road. That's ten days processing time plus the associated costs of staying in a big city whilst waiting. Not to mention ten days I'd rather be elsewhere.
The Business visa looks expensive but all things considered I think it will work out cheaper.
I too have applied for a 12 month Russian Business visa. The difference is there's a 'template' for the Russian letter.
